That kind of check is easily evaded. Consider this bot posting automatic, what prevents it from replying to some comments by running it through AI?
Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities

I’d love a lemmy client that next to a username, it gives their post to comment ratio. That tends to give me a solid feel. If they don’t comment on their own posts ever, then they are not here to discuss.

You’re right, that’d be a really useful heuristic. I comment way more than I post, but whenever I do post, I always make sure to reply to at least a few of the comments people leave. It feels almost like a duty, and I’d feel bad if I didn’t at least try.

Yeah never been a fan of drive-by posting myself.

Truth be told, I was kind of hoping for a reply of “use this client, it does exactly that!” I’ll let you know if someone gives me one.
