Very interesting read, thank you. I think we should treat this as a spam problem, low quality drowns out high quality. If that low quality is human or bot doesn't matter. But what's new to me is that it's a bit of both: These bots have been set up with a noble intent and their operators are simply not knowledgeable enough to realize they're pushing crap. It's like kids spamming your family chat group with emojis. They want to contribute to the conversation but don't know how to do that appropriately yet
Noble intent? If so, lurk moar ffs.
Why so hostile?
Because nuance is not welcome on lemmy you need to conform to the hate train or else.
Anyways these aren't actually setup with noble intent they are trying to get a good looking github profile for job applications.
Actually nuance is welcome when it comes to discussions about pedophiles. Welcome to lemmy.
