I've turned off the bot for now.
Good. I'm not completely against automating discussion threads, but they should be a lot less prevalent than they are now, and be set to only post series that basically never have empty threads.
Thank God. I think it'd be cool to have a separate community with that bot called manga updates or something but for this community it just makes a bunch a post and I can find a thread that's actually active
I have to agree. I applaud the idea, but I've been tempted to block the community because of the constant posts.
The better alternative is to block the bot account, but that's not ideal either, if you want to participate in any of the series it's been set to post.
I've been thinking the same thing lately. Really clogs up the space. Glad you brought this up
While I agree, some highly popular titles (stuff that most people read like Spy x Family, One Piece, Oshi No Ko) should still be automatically uploaded in my opinion. These are more likely to generate discussion then the generic "i got isekaid but i have op powers from the future" manga that's copied 1000 times.
If they're popular, won't the chapters be posted here by a user instead of a bot if we remove the bot?
I do actually agree that automatically created threads that appear the moment a new chapter is out makes sense in these cases.
The post would serve as a notification of a new chapter for some, who would then use the link to read and comment, immediately.
It also removes the competition around being "the one" that posts the discussion thread each chapter.
