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.
The problem is that they often repost news that has already been posted in the community. It gets quite annoying.
I don’t see that a lot, because I’m only subscribed to the most populated communities whenever there are multiple.
Anyway, I don’t know much about bot programming, but it seems possible to make the bot check the community for similar URLs in the last couple of days so it could skip the ones already posted.
