Comment on Opinions wanted: defederating with bot spam instances

I don’t personally find these bot posts useful, and I think they clutter up the All timeline, but they aren’t being deceitful or anything, and there may be folks who find these posts useful. I like the lemm.ee federation policy of generally allowing everything unless it’s full of bad actors.

It’s annoying because in some instances a repost bot makes sense, specifically where content and comments are a bit more asynchronous.
Some kinds of news for example- having an article reposted isn’t really terrible because we’re all just going to the same article then posting comments on our respective platforms.
But posts where op is expecting any kind of reply are dead in the water once they’re posted here, they just take up space and clutter up the timeline.

This. Cross posting from /r/AITA and /r/relationships is worse than pointless.
