yeah, I think beehaw is in the right to decide this part of feature and it's up to the server admins. User can choose how they want to respond to that as well and I've seen different reaction as well.

If anyone wants to see just how hard it is to maintain lemmy in current state, just hop over to "All" and set the sorting to "New". For the record, during the past couple days, I already blocked 14 bot accounts and 9 community that used bots. I had to because other wise I can't discovery communities I might have interested in when browsing "All". And that's also after some work that was put in by the lemmy.ca admin.

And, if you don't want all the drama, you can always spin up your instance or join a less populated server.
