As some may have noticed, a fairly large portion of the post on this community are article links posted by bots. I am no moderator and am just a regular user like the rest of you, but I want to know what the community thinks of the posting bots. here is a sample of my opinion to get conversation started:

Pros:

  • lots of content to engage with
  • people can focus on discussing things not finding thing

Cons:

  • lack of reliable quality of article
  • lack of diversity of content
  • dismalnow@kbin.social

    surely they’re going through a personal crisis to be so terminally online and posting so frequently.

    I apparently needed to see this today. Life has been winding me up lately and I have been impatient/quick to dismiss people as a result.

    Thanks for snapping me out of it.
