I don’t get why people here are so in favor of bot seeding. To me, that makes a network inorganic and it intimidates average users from posting since it will more than likely be drowned out by all the bots. There are plenty of link aggregators in the world if all you want is funny memes.
I prefer places that feel like a real forum, with real people, interacting in real ways. That’s what used to make reddit unique to me. That’s what I love about Lemmy now.
I don’t care if a community doesn’t grow at a rapid pace. I’d rather have thoughtful conversations from a few individuals rather than a wall of spam that stifles discussion by making it harder to find discussions, since it spaces all the content out over dozens or hundreds of posts.
If all you want to do is doomscroll, there is no shortage of places to do that. But if you want to have actual discussions with real people… I’m not even sure there’s a place for that anymore with how pro-bot this comment section is.
Guess I’m the old person yelling at clouds at this point, but it makes me kind of sad to see.
I’m not sure how I feel about bot seeding, but I suppose it’s not necessarily out of bounds if it’s a preliminary thing while Lemmy ramps up to a future major release.

No, looking at the comments here you seem to be in the majority line of thought.
“Doomscroll” is a new one to me. I like that.
