in settings you could choose to hide bot accounts

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I don’t want to hide bot accounts, I want spam bots to be taken down so I can still enjoy decent bots.

I mean, you kind of just have to deal then, since that's not something that can be programmed in. Your definition of "decent bots" for example, might wildly vary from someone else's definition

Like pornography, you know it when you see it.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I guess the easy individual solution is to block those specific repost bot accounts.

But yes, they suck.

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that’s the solution. It just fucks over new users who don’t know to block all the spam.

[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I do this, and it has drastically improved my experience. However, I do miss the TLDR bots.

Also, I do share OP’s opinion that a lot of quality comes from interaction, so these re-posts aren’t doing anything for me. I do appreciate that that is a personal opinion though.
