Personally I don’t like replying to bots. It feels like talking to a wall. There is no real person behind the bot account I’m replying to and I will never have a discussion with this account. Isn’t having discussions the point of social media though? Otherwise I could just read my RSS feeds …

I’ve therefore selected to not show me bot posts on Lemmy and try to hide bots from Mastodon by filtering for keywords, such as “bot” or “twitter feed”, in profiles.
