It seems to me that over the last two weeks, the Lemmy experience has been worsening. My front page and communities are filled with Reddit re-posting bots.

While this gives off a feeling of being active, it’s like a ghost town invaded by AI.

But if I block these bots, I also take the risk that I’m unable to participate in actual conversations between non-bot Lemmy participants.

    I had the same feeling last week on seeing soo many cross posts from reddit.

    As the original thread is taking place elsewhere, there seems no point in posting any comments into the lemmy version of it, or for that matter even seeing it.

    I thought we were leaving reddit behind - not dragging it with us.

    Alternatively, if this is an attempt to archive all the good stuff, shouldn’t the bot bring the comments too?
