Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots.
At first it didn’t bother me as I thought bot posting may incentivate people to comment but since this rarely happens and now I think they are just polluting the communities.
I know I can filter them but I wonder what is the general sentiment about this.
How do you filter out bots?
…asking for a friend.
settings > untick show bot accounts
Thanks fucker, that was helpful. 👍
Fucker knows a thing or two.
This should be the top comment
Why would you “ask for a friend” as if the question is porn-related?
It’s a joke my friend.
And unfortunately like a frog in biology class when I dissect the joke it’s going to die, so here we go:
Parent comment made it sound like it was very basic knowledge of Lemmy to block bots and because I didn’t want to appear dumb I added the ‘for a friend’ even though I intended that it was obvious I was asking for myself.
The failed attempt at misdirection should have been humorous.
Your Lemmy profile settings include an option to not show bot accounts.
