There are some who say it’s biased itself. I have not investigated it further.
All bots are annoying. They take screen real estate and lures me into otherwise empty comment sections.
I should block it, but I haven’t, because it is sometimes useful.
It might be better if it only posted when summoned by someone.
Maybe Lemmy could support bot posts a bit more organically, so they could be excluded from comment counts, or given a dedicated section. Eg. there could be a way to add this info to all community posts automatically.
TBH this whole bot thing seems like a Reddit holdover where people had no control over the platform.
