    Is it new? I got the impression that’s also been going on a while.

      It’s definitely not a new issue, but it’s only gotten worse since reddit has gone more and more mainstream.

      If you follow me on Lemmy since last year, you should know that I’ve always been extremely against having bots posting here.

        I’ve always been extremely against having bots posting here.

        As are all who live to see such times.

        Except certain transparent bots that serve a clear, particular purpose. Like, we could have a bot that adds a new honorific to your description every time someone says, “oh hey, I saw a Margot Robbie on TV! Is that you?”

            What if it’s an actress, does that count? Or is it like, yeah, that’s just her character saying that.
