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
But you wouldn’t hook up an RSS feed into lemmy, you would use the feed directly.
The interesting part is the user interaction, if it’s just a torrent of bot posts no user is interested in engaging.
