I always enjoyed browsing ‘new’. Both here and on that other site you might know of. Personally i dont like the bots here. They just clutter the timeline IMHO. I visit ‘social media’ for a feed which is pre-curated by humans. I’d rather use RSS if i wanted a constant stream of news articles without curation by others. The problem i see on lemmy is that in rare cases the bot posts still get user engagement which i miss out on if i just outright filter the bots out.

Its nothing i lose sleep over and the situation as is… is alright i guess. But if i had anything to say and had a choice i would outright ban them. But tbh i didnt think through the consquences.
