It seems to me that over the last two weeks, the Lemmy experience has been worsening. My front page and communities are filled with Reddit re-posting bots.
While this gives off a feeling of being active, it’s like a ghost town invaded by AI.
But if I block these bots, I also take the risk that I’m unable to participate in actual conversations between non-bot Lemmy participants.
You can turn of all bots in your user settings if you want.
But we are active and i haven’t seen AI spam bots that haven’t been purged fast.
Note that you will also block useful bots like that.
What kind of bots are you referring to? I have all bots blocked, noe I’m worried I’m missing out.
There’s no such thing as a useful bot. They’re all annoying and I’m glad I can block them all.
