Comment on This bot is bad for Lemmy

Point taken and no offense taken. Hell, I’ve been thinking about this for some time myself as well.

For now I have disabled the requesting of new subreddits/communities, and tightened the upvote filter to be at least 10 and have an 80% upvote ratio. It’s not much, but it should limit the amount unpopular posts somewhat.

Next step is to go through the list of communities and purge all the “ghost communities” - ones that rely heavily on community participation, like for example AskReddit (221 subscribers). It’s going to be tricky to make that selection though. What to do, for example, with !AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online? With 1100 subscribers, it’s the most popular community on this server. Clearly people are getting something out of it, even though there are no replies to it.

I guess I’ll have to figure something out.
