      This is a bot made to repost from reddit to generate content for remade subs, thought i don’t know if that’s the right thing to do, it’s not made purely to spam communities afaik

        Bots get a bad rep. Bots are fantastic, it’s just a shame they are prejuded to be bad. I’m sure signup has a bot mode on some instances.

          I have no problem with bots in general (there were some really cool novelty ones on reddit, as well as moderation ones, etc). When large amounts of accounts are created for bots, it seems a bit shady, however. Will those be used to push political opinions and guerilla marketing as Lemmy gets bigger, or did someone just create a bunch of accounts to simulate conversations using an LLM?

      They’re supposed to be bot posts. That’s what lemmit.online is for. To copy Reddit content into communities on lemmit.online.
