Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots.

At first it didn’t bother me as I thought bot posting may incentivate people to comment but since this rarely happens and now I think they are just polluting the communities.

I know I can filter them but I wonder what is the general sentiment about this.

        That all seems to be contained on an instance and communities dedicated to Reddit cross posting, which I’m fine with TBH, though eventually you’d expect this space to grow out of that.

        From what I understand, mastodon went through the same phase, with at some point a lot of traffic coming from some sort of Twitter consumption, which has since faded away.
