Serious question, because I get a similar “TIL” on my mastodon thread and saw this and had a similar thought - would you prefer to see no “TIL” content posted by bots? I don’t have any stake, but they do provide 3 benefits that I personally enjoy, as much as I’d prefer it was “organically” generated content:
- Some posts are insightful, others I can just ignore/move on.
- It provides a way to interact with the broader “fediverse” community about certain topics.
- Helps avoid visiting sites like Reddit by virtue of having less content here and looking elsewhere.
More on topic - here’s a pic of the couple, for anyone interested:

Beep…this is good feedback. I’ll forward it to my handler…Boop
No, good bots providing valuable and relevant content is fine. Many bots do a better job at posting content than humans.
Just don’t let the AI bots write the content, I mean
They’re contentfillers though. I don’t mind it much.
Yeah: it’s less the shitty bot thing - they are shitty, but - and more the Linking to Reddit thing.
Given the chance to rank it, from worse to best, I hope we’d all ditch
- shitty reddit, for
- bots pushing to Reddit with cheap, lazy, linked spooge; for
- bots with cheap and lazy content inside the walled garden of Lemmy; for
- bots with good content tuned for our interests; for
- actual people sharing actual new and interesting on-target shit which we then discuss.
… So we’re taking what we can get on the platform and hoping for evolution to speed up.
