Comment on Bots copy pasting Reddit - is there a method to block them all?
grue@lemmy.world 1 year agoThat’s due to the users simply not participating. There’s no technical difference between a bot-posted thread and a human-posted one…
Sure there is: when it’s a human-posted thread, it means at least one person participated. The difference between one and zero – between talking to a single other person and talking to an empty room – is very large.

That's not really how comment sections work, though. They exist all the same, whether the OP is a bot or a human. It's up to the other humans to use it.

Even if no other humans reply but you, at least you were talking to OP.

And if one human cares, chances are others could too.
