There are many helpful bots, like the one that corrects community links to be instance-neutral.

Question: Are those "bot accounts" flaired to identify them?

[-] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

I think any true "bot" would be flaired correctly. I blocked any bots I did not like, including @bot@lemmit.online

I think any true “bot” would be flaired correctly.

Just FYI: The bot checkbox an opt-in thing with no enforcement, so it's basically guaranteed that some developer will eventually either forget to tick the box or deliberately choose not to. These are still early days for Lemmy, so who knows how the situation will eventually evolve... but for now it's basically the wild west.
