Just do yourself a favor and block the obvious bots or report them if they’re straying outside of the rules.

I noticed it a lot in “news” feeds, which I quickly blocked because I don’t want to fucking doomscroll, but they often ARE bots mindlessly mirroring “news” articles that are increasingly being generated by shitbots.

After I blocked all the bullshit, Lemmy/Piefed is actually pretty good, if a touch quiet.
