  It’s one of the only bots I haven’t blocked so I do agree. It just feels weird to see. Like a reminder that hackernews is better

    I went ahead and blocked it and spend time on HN along with Lemmy instead. HN discussions on those posts are always so much livelier than those sad, but interesting copycat posts.

      Bot posts are soulless and when so many of the posts here are from bots, the whole site feels a little hollow

        Agreed. I think it dilutes user engagement, because people will leave comments on these bot threads, never to be seen by anybody else.
