It can drown out contributions and questions from actual humans using the site. So while you can also have a useful discussion on a bot posted thread, ultimately someone has to create original content somewhere and people get discouraged if their original posts are lost in a flood of bot posts.
I agree. I come here to interact with people online and read interesting discussions, not merely see content.
It's a link aggregation site though. Like the memes and stuff might be OC, but news articles and the like make total sense to be posted by bots IMO. The comments and engagement is what I'm here for. The more posts that trigger and allow for that engagement the better
That is a bit contradictory. I think Lemmy is more like a forum. The OPs links are helpful to initiate engagement but if it is all superficial stuff pulled from external places by bots and not actual members posting their own ideas, the following discussion will also be very shallow.
