  I personally don’t really know of any content posted by a bot that I want to see).

  Some communities use bots to schedule recurrent posts. Those can be useful, and mostly provide a feature we’ll hopefully see built-in the platform in the future

    Possibly moderation bots too.

  I think the TLDR bot has its purpose.

    I’ve blocked that one, I found it was rarely useful.

  Automated mod actions, Sports game threads, L4s, Hackernews reposts, sales threads, weekly threads are what you might miss out on.

    My instance has daily threads. It’d be nice to distinguish between community bot and generic bot. I should see if there’s a request for that already.

    I want more sports related bots to post, I know I missed blocking some. Roaches they are, everywhere.
