You can request that on lemmit.online if I remeber the name of the instance correctly

Fair stance

Have a nice day/night, I’m going to sleep now.

I guess some people may like those posts but it’s just mindless posting dependant on reddit and posting on those bot instances will get you buried by the rest of post made by bots. I don’t see how using bots for posting stuff would help to build an active community but if people really need all of the posts regardless of quality from some subreddits then it’s fine.

Comments under this post describe the problems with something like that pretty well.

Yeah, but the problem is that you don’t have to subscribe yourself, once someone else from your instance interacts with communities from that instance it will flood the “new” feed on your instance making this feed useless.

You may also want to block lemmit.online

When I made a post saying that 90% (now ~95%) of accounts on lemmy are bots the amount of people saying that there’s no proof and/or saying to me that there’s a lot of people joining from reddit right now was astonishing.

Edit: one person said me that noone would make 1.6mln bots when there are only 150k-200k users on the platform, like WTF.

Their political views are garbage but their work is awesome and I respect them for that.

You have too much faith in redditors

Owners can use those bots to boost choosen posts/comments with a lot of upvotes or downvote something into oblivion if they don’t like something. Bots can be also used for spam and advertising stuff. Overall, if the bots become active the platform will be fucked as the quality of everything will go down. One problem that affects us now is that we lost a reliable way of telling how much factual users are on the platform.

Just because the bots are currently idle doesn’t mean that the owners aren’t preparing uses for them…

And there are people in the thread arguing that the number of bots is overblown. :/

Wouldn’t mind it if all the bot accounts were tagged as such and you had an ability to filter them out to see only human conversations.

Depends on instance where you make an account.

I was one of those people, I didn’t understand the logic behing defederating instances with open registrations but now it turns out that those instances were right about doing that even though their reason sfor defederations were different.

They already brought it back in that future release.

Absolutely agree.

If you check the numbers from initial wave you will notice how realistic numbers look.

Personally I use peertube, the instance that I’m on allows 6GB of total uploads per user for free and you can pay for more space if you need more.
