  • For me it depends on what the bot is actually doing. I don’t have any problem with a bot that helps with moderation, provides an unpaywalled article, or others that help the user.

    What I do dislike are all the bots that are just making posts from an RSS feed. If it’s a dedicated community for that purpose that’s fine, but that’s often not the case.

    edit: I think a simple way to sum up my feelings is that I don’t want bots posting content, I want people to do that. Bots can help parse that content, or even provide context, but I don’t come here to interact with them.
