Yeah: it's less the shitty bot thing - they are shitty, but - and more the Linking to Reddit thing.

Given the chance to rank it, from worse to best, I hope we'd all ditch

• shitty reddit, for
• bots pushing to Reddit with cheap, lazy, linked spooge; for
• bots with cheap and lazy content inside the walled garden of Lemmy; for
• bots with good content tuned for our interests; for
• actual people sharing actual new and interesting on-target shit which we then discuss.

... So we're taking what we can get on the platform and hoping for evolution to speed up.
