There is no reason for a bot to be able to access or post on federated social networks if the goal is to make social media humane.

For this reason, bots should be heavily disallowed from posting content to or accessing content from federated social media.

    You can just hide posts from bots if you do not like them. Settings -> Uncheck “Show Bot Accounts.” I’m not sure what the point of this post is.

    Some people find use out of them, hence bots being allowed here with an option to easily hide them.

    Also, OC is not the cream of the crop. There’s plenty of terrible posts out there written by humans, as demonstrated by many folks on this platform. I can say that I occasionally get more use out of a bot’s post than a human’s post.
