So one of the selling points I’ve seen tossed around for Lemmy is it’s absence of a Karma system. Keeping that in mind can anyone explain why Lemmy wouldn’t adapt a more automated/bot style approach to increasing content. What I had in mind was a system that shocked Pikachu meme used some sort of scraping method or web crawler method that could produce continually fresh posts to communities like the NFL community or even offer a new News type of community that is fed every news break from a defined set of sources. Hell Lemmy even offers the ability to create its own automated front page of the internet instance that exclusively for those who enjoy the automated content provided. If it gained traction there would be no limit to the specific communities it could support. For example if there were a NFL auto posting bot why not one thst serviced each individual team’s community.
The biggest ckmplaint in reddit back in the day was the increase of bot activity generating reposts. With Lemmy tho, there already are natural reposts already happening between common communities present across multiple instances.
I very much enjoy how differently Lemmy and it’s user base is from the trash pile reddit became. The reddit comment threads after the exodus are all just regurgitated memes and hivemind friendly bot responses. Compared to Lemmy where it’s been rare if at all to find anyone farming for karma or pandering to the masses.
This is all just second hand understanding of the digital world. Thank you in advance for anyone whontakes the time tonread this and comment🍻
So you want low effort posts, generated automatically.
Nobody needs that. Such posts should neither be created nor read.
Automated posts are waste of human time.
(But it is done already).
Posts, homie. Not comments. That’s kinda the focal point I think I failed to explain properly. Lemmy has very low volume of posted content but far better discussions about the posts. Each is obviously being compared to the last I was on reddit. I also had this in mind of expanding the breath of communities with content. Right now there is a fuckin hero in the NFL community who is what idiots would say is doing God’s work. Manual providing individual highlights as the come in from Twitter or wherever his source is, for every game as they’re being played. That. Shit like that is exactly what I had in mind to automate. I just assumed it could also be catered to any multitude of communities that act as reddit’s creators intended, to have a place that is a front page to the internet with minimal human perversion or moderating outside of coment sections
I have understood that. I was talking about posts.
