I know it is part of the Fediverse, but I wish bots were a not thing or allowed. I know they are not 'assholes' but I just think they take away from having real human connections.
I think we just collectively need to learn how to act better.
Choose not to respond when people are agressively onesided, you won't be changing their minds.
We cannot control assholes or trolls, but we can control our behaviors. Stay kind as long as possible, disengage when you can't. Don't let these idiots turn YOU into an asshole.
There were a lot of very useful bots, and you canβt block bots anyway without blocking APIs, and we can all see how well that goes.
Yeah, I cant see a real argument against bots like that Auto TLDR bot for articles or that summary posting bot for Wikipedia links.
The unit conversion bot is also really useful (almost necessary) for everyone outside the United States.
Wouldn't a browser addon be a better option?
I don't want to get an addon just because people occasionally use Fahrenheit
I don't think I can install browser extensions on Jerboa :P
