It seems to me that over the last two weeks, the Lemmy experience has been worsening. My front page and communities are filled with Reddit re-posting bots.

While this gives off a feeling of being active, it’s like a ghost town invaded by AI.

But if I block these bots, I also take the risk that I’m unable to participate in actual conversations between non-bot Lemmy participants.

    For the time being the bot account flag is voluntary anyway, so there’s nothing stopping a repost bot from not indicating they are one.

    Block and move on is the most straightforward solution at the moment.
