    I don't understand why anyone cares. I'm pro-repost bot, whether a real human posts the content or not makes no difference to me, I just want the content.

      The major one I've noticed/been annoyed by is someone reposting r/buildapc questions to Lemmy. None of the responses. No way to communicate to the original redditor to genuinely respond, just…here's the post devoid of all other information.

      On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most enjoyable, how would you rate that as "content?"

        1 but I'd also just block that community anyway

        I'd also consider the original reddit one a 1

      I want content that’s interesting an engaging. Not a firehose of bullshit drowning out actual posts

      Certified suck

        There appears to be no difference in quality of the content for me.

          I don’t want to hide bot accounts, I want spam bots to be taken down so I can still enjoy decent bots.

            I mean, you kind of just have to deal then, since that's not something that can be programmed in. Your definition of "decent bots" for example, might wildly vary from someone else's definition

              Yeah, that’s the solution. It just fucks over new users who don’t know to block all the spam.

          I do this, and it has drastically improved my experience. However, I do miss the TLDR bots.

          Also, I do share OP’s opinion that a lot of quality comes from interaction, so these re-posts aren’t doing anything for me. I do appreciate that that is a personal opinion though.
