MODERATORS
Most of the bots on Lemmy so far are just link-dumping from Reddit and RSS feeds. It ruins All and it looks like a lot of it is starting to go to community farming. I saw one yesterday where the bot was using multiple accounts and posting shortened links to survey sites across a bunch of Astro-turfed communities.
Oh, and the article-summarized bot is here, too.
That one is a good bot
Not really. It often clips out important bits of information, some that can completely change the narrative.
Yeah it could be better.
