If the cream of the crop is original content, bots are useless - Lemmy.world

There is no reason for a bot to be able to access or post on federated social networks if the goal is to make social media humane. For this reason, bots should be heavily disallowed from posting content to or accessing content from federated social media.

Two examples of bots I have found helpful in the past:

  • A bot that takes book names and gives the description and author (and maybe a link to goodreads or other)

  • a bot that takes Lego numbers people posts and gives the name and link

  • a bot that redorects youtube to piped
Who really cares about that
