    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

      I have mixed feelings about this. We should try to get more people here to make this content. Maybe it’s just me but I when I see a whole page with bot posts I stay away from that community. I would rather see posts from real users, engage with them, share my thoughts with the author and I am not able to do that if it’s a copy from somewhere else made by a bot

      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?
