PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 2 months agoYes. I want to avoid having it become spam, so I decided to be careful which RSS feeds I add to keep the human-to-bot ratio up.

I mean you can leverage the votes of Lemmy to drown out ads from otherwise-interesting sources.

Lemmy thunderdome community! All posts get fed in from RSS, but if they don’t get upvoted by the time the time limit has passed, they get deleted!
I am joking, I think. It’s an interesting idea though. I don’t think relying on the algorithm to stem the tide of bot-posted content is a completely complete solution, since I have definitely seen bot-provided communities which annoyed me with the volume of 1-upvote posts which the bot was putting up. I am planning to try to limit the feeds available to those that have a respectable amount of human interaction.

Yeah. That’s not what I said. I said it would help to filter ads from otherwise-interesting sources.

I understand now. I thought you meant something different by crowdsourcing. No worries.
