I was fine with the helpful bots here and there, but if someone is going to abuse it like this may as well just ignore them all. This is why we can't have good things.
I remember reading in some other post there was a global setting in the Voyager app to block all bots, but I cannot find it now. Does anyone know where?
I believe you can do it in the Lemmy account itself, try the web interface
It should work for all of Lemmy afterwards
Thanks! You're the best!
... Can I be second best?
Why not be the best at something instead? I believe in you!
I aspire to be like Eratosthenes, nicknamed "Beta" for his ability to always come second - Never first. But in basically anything he ever tried. Not too bad I'd say.
Even the helpful bots get annoying after a bit. You submit a post, and immediately get linked bots that show you five alternative sites, three units of measure you already know, and one bot that has absolutely butchered the synopsis of the article posted and left out important details that then derail the conversation.
