As some may have noticed, a fairly large portion of the post on this community are article links posted by bots. I am no moderator and am just a regular user like the rest of you, but I want to know what the community thinks of the posting bots. here is a sample of my opinion to get conversation started:

Pros:

  • lots of content to engage with
  • people can focus on discussing things not finding thing

Cons:

  • lack of reliable quality of article
  • lack of diversity of content
  • Betty White In HD@lemmy.world

    Yeah as long as Bot accounts are properly marked as such, I have no issue with them. Leave it to the user to choose whether they want to see them or not, it’s fine either way.
