MODERATORS
For everyone complaining about bots you have two that come and tell you that they are glad? I highly doubt it seeing the activity in those communities. You're not the first one to do this reddit botspam, and our actions against these have been very consistent.
You can look that up here: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world
You create a bot that goes against our publicly-available policy and then you get mad we don't want to change that policy for you. These rules about bots were put in place because our users requested it. And we are far from the only instance with that policy. Try to do the same on lemm.ee

I am not mad. I am just saying that the tool is meant to do more than being just a mirroring bot. At the moment, it is creating bots, but eventually there will be a percentage of those who will be real users.
