    From where I sit, this instance of Lemmy is too small to worry about bots denying the users. 😉

    The only big communities are relatively quite small, YET. The biggest are some 1-2k comments worth. It’s not particularly big throughput…

      Is it? I myself have gone to post something I found interesting, and saw a bot beat me to the punch. I feel it hurts the smaller communities even more. You end up with those bot post graveyards. Though, I get this a complete non-issue to some; It’s why I suggested letting the communities and moderators themselves decide. I see no harm in that.

      My personal preferences make me more likely to comment and contribute to content posted by other humans. I get lemmy is small right now, but I don’t see why communities should wait to address these bots when they are already clearly a divisive subject.

        If you have something to say, say it anyway.

        Often, the difference between useful and not-useful lies not in the message, but its style, wording and such. 🧐
