It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.

you can turn off that you see pot posts in your profile/settings
I dont think that those bots will be as dominant as now in the future when more community content comes in. When that time comes i think even the mods know that they getting more and more obsolete
Ok, Now Lemmy Explain:
Suppose that the bot was temporary, as you say, then why would anybody bother making original content here when the bot is just going to drown them out? At what level of “community content” is this thing going to be stopped?
In time, it would just get more and more entrenched as nobody would actually be making real original content here. It’s like a drug addiction, we will be dependent on the bot to feed us from reddit, and it will prolong the life of reddit indefinitely like a parasite.
We like Lemmy because the people and community here are thoughtful and kind, unlike the horrible discourse at reddit, but how do you know that bringing the reddit directly here would not make people become spiteful and argumentative redditors again? When will we stop being redditors?
Suppose the reddit migration on July 1st does happen, do you think they would be impressed that they left reddit only to find the new place to be exactly like reddit but with less activity? No, they will all just go back to that burning house, and all of this will have been for nothing.
I’m sorry that I’m getting emotional about this, but this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
That NLE opening caught me off-guard lmfao. Cheers
Well, need a new vocabulary for a new place. Again, my stance has been consistent: We are not redditors anymore, we do not belong there, Lemmy should be a place for people, we keep the good of reddit and kick out the bad, and bots are certainly not people.
