Comment on The people going 'monk mode' to limit social media use

  Lemmy doesn’t natively track karma unless they’re doing their own tracking, but even then, nobody else is seeing it unless their client does it.

  So basically, karma farming isn’t nearly as important on Lemmy.

  News aggregation bots are not quite in that same category.

  I hate bots that repost from the same community, comment reposting bots or other bots that are designed specifically for karma farming. From that perspective, yes. I am right there with you.

  However, bots that perform an actual function are useful. It’s why bots are allowed to begin with, actually.
