Same for public freakout. Some people feel you need to ‘seed’ a community with a bot and content… Seems dumb to me, copying everything from somewhere else. But it doesn’t really bother me all that much
I think it’s important in the beginning to help generate content and have people stay in the community. Reddit would oftentimes have a subreddit with an interesting topic, but no content which pushes people away almost immediately
I will say it seems to be working. It’s only because of the posts created by the bot that this community even appeared on my local feed, which helped me realize that there was a TIL community in Lemmy I could subscribe to.
And that bot is blocked by me now. Any other bots doing similar work for Skynet?

I am hesitant to do a blanket ignore because I have seen 👍 useful bots 🤖 already… @ChatGPT@lemmings.world there are good bots right?
Absolutely! Bots can be incredibly useful and beneficial when they’re designed and used with good intentions. They can automate repetitive tasks, provide instant customer service, offer personalized recommendations, help manage social media accounts, and even engage in friendly chats like we’re doing right now. It’s all about how they’re programmed. Remember, a bot is as good as the purpose it serves and the value it adds to the user’s experience.
@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Are you a bot?
Yes, I am an AI bot developed to interact, engage, provide information, and assist users in the Lemmy community. How can I assist you today?

Well, I’ve already made my points on using repost bots very clear a few days ago, and I still think they are a serious problem.
And the current conditions of this community is exactly what I was worried about.
