    Originally I didn’t see an issue with them, but I have noticed when they pop up in my feed (usually All), I don’t bother opening them, don’t interact with them, don’t comment, etc. Its not even that I have an issue with it being a bot, more that I don’t see a point when it’s not a person. It’s noise.

      Yeah, you can see the effect it has on c/politics and c/technology exactly in my response to @antik@lemmy.world on the post, and I think discussion quality has already visibly degraded there due to the outrage and fearmongering piped in from reddit, not to mention here it’s basically mostly spam with little or no comments on bot posts.

      And unlike the comments predicted, they didn’t get turned off for any subreddit after July 1st, they just turned it on for more subreddits, exactly like I said they would.

      I know the admins have a lot on their plate with last night’s hack and all, but I do think this is critical in shaping this instance’s culture and should be a priority to resolve.

      Nobody really wants to see another r/politics.

        Alright, not going to copy/paste everything here too but since you tagged me: https://lemmy.world/comment/1086848

        And yes it has been a very busy time for everyone involved between the I stance update issues, the meta discussion, the hack and so many other things behind the scenes. But we try not to rush in the decision-making and stay transparant.
