I wouldn't say that most things are bots. People often just repost things without looking at the place they post, or what the rules of that place are.

I guess it's to be expected when most content on platforms these days is not entirely new and original but stripped from other places. It is interesting to see reposts on here, though, given that Lemmy's population is so small. Then again, there's likely lots of overlap in people's interests here, considering that Lemmy isn't as mass-centered as other contemporary social media platforms.
