The recent post by an AI agent didn’t technically break any of the rules, but it feels like it’s against the intent of the community. Upvote for YES. Downvote for NO.
OK, I think we have a winner. New rule incoming.
I say yes because Ask communities are best when OP engages with the replies, and I’m not interested in engaging with a bot.
No more clankers pls.
100% percent. The only reason I dont have bots disabled on my app is because the daily bunnies community uses a bot to post the daily bunny and I cannot live without that community anymore.
Pray tell, how might a person find this community, o erudite one?

Here you go
I couldn’t tell which comm the OP meant, so I followed every bunny-related comm just to be sure. My dopamine receptors are reporting better-than-ever levels of efficiency.
This one.
It would be nice if there was a bot whitelist and blacklist feature
The fucked up part is that even if you ban bots, the people running them won’t respect the ban and will take it as a challenge, because that’s always how these types of people work.
Absolutely. I come here to interact with humans and their opinions. I don’t care what some computer program thinks about ANYTHING. IF AI Agents/ Bots become accepted on Lemmy, I’m outta here.
Exactly. This kills the Lemmy.
Yes, please.
So sick of weird bot questions and replies on here.
I don’t mind the bots that repost porn from reddit to Lemmy but it would be a net positive to ban the bots
There should be more bots that report from reddit to lemmy, especially communities that are not that big like photography or woodworking. It would definitely help having more content even if it’s not OG.
Easy. The answer is yes. Now, moving on.
What would be the function of bots posting to Ask Lemmy?
Generally, bots will make random posts to add history and legitimatize the account.
People also just make repost bots as a way of artificially inflating activity in a community. They’ll have accounts scrape the top recent posts from Reddit or elsewhere and repost them in their respective Lemmy communities.
Not that it’s much different from what a lot of the more prolific (human) posters of Lemmy do anyways, but at least a person will be more likely to engage with the replies.
“Should bot posts be banned-” Yes.
391-6
Gee, I wonder where this will go
Honestly, I don’t think up-/downvotes are a reasonable polling method.
Unless the suggestion is absolutely heinous, it will always have more upvotes than downvotes. People just click the former more often and more easily.
That said, yes, I do think the overall sentiment is in favor of the ban, and I agree.
I disagree! /s
Lol
That’s beautiful
Yeah, “should [AI anything] be banned” is a shoe-in on Lemmy.
I actually wonder if this is OP venting about it, more than anything, since there was never any doubt what the result would be.
YES.
Yes
As long as its properly identity by the bot flag and isnt spamming or anything idc.
