Thanks for pointing this out, if this bot issue here isn’t fixed soon I can’t imagine users are going to stick around for very long. I know I won’t.

I don't think that bots that post news articles are really an issue, as long as users aren't allowed repost the same article multiple times. The articles are going to get posted eventually. Bots can be more efficient at quickly posting breaking news.

My issue is more with bots that post comments pretending to be users; bots that steal content from other users; and bots that repost old content. These are the types of bots that negatively affect the user experience.

The OP bot isn't the worst imo, it's been very upfront about what it is, but there is a larger issue that bot detection isn't that great on lemmy.
