Eventually I can see getting rid of them, but for now they’re keeping Lemmy active.

Do a multitude of automated posts without comments and conversation really count as activity? Before I simply hid bot posts via settings, I'd rarely see any conversations appearing on Reddit reposts. Even now if you look at probably the most prolific bot instance/account behind this, Lemmit.online bot, you can see this for yourself.

Interesting archival project, I suppose, but it certainly doesn't seem to generate activity in terms of conversation, besides posts like this.
