Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Maybe its just me but I havent seen any of them?
The Lemmit.online bot is banned from lemmy.world for all users, which I think is responsible for a lot of the useless bot traffic (useful for people who want to keep up to date on Reddit happenings I suppose). Lemm.ee, Lemmy.ca etc. don't block the bot site-wide so it's up to users like OP to block that bot if they don't want to see it.
That makes a lot of sense then yes
I blocked one user when I first signed up that was doing this. I can't remember which. But any chance you've blocked someone, too? Cause I only remember a single bot being really bad at it.
There's also some other bot that's name starts with something like "L4" or something, but it's good in my book. It only reposts something like the top post and I usually only see its posts actually having discussion. It's only the spammy bot that made so many zero discussion posts that I have a problem with.
I cant even remember blocking any bot, no. But I see it similarly, if it actually provides good discussion then its fine in my book. I get that we dont want to just rehash reddit but its not like link aggregators dont aggregate from other link aggregators.
