There is a huge bot issue right now (started 3 days ago). All the numbers are worthless.
It’s a known issue, all admins should add captcha to the subscription page, delete the bots and re-compute the actual number of users. Unless we do that, we won’t have a correct number.
We can still look at the Monthly Active Users. Bots don’t post (yet)
Just check https://lemmit.online/c/itookapicture . Sadly only bot posts
They're supposed to be bot posts. That's what lemmit.online is for. To copy Reddit content into communities on lemmit.online.
Good to know. Also I have mixed feelings about this. It’s great to see more content but I would rather see more of original posts here than a copy from reddit.
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?
