Am I just noticing them more now? It’s like every other post now is a bot. Please don’t tell me that lemmy is about to be like reddit where it’s only bots that post anything at all

Re turning off bot accounts, keep in mind labeled bots probably serve a specific purpose. So turning off bots can result in a poorer user experience.
For example I have bot accounts that post weekly discussion threads for TV shows or discussion threads for films.
If you turn off all bots then you’ll never see these discussion threads. (I’ve seen this happen, users starting a duplicate discussion thread because they hid all bot accounts.)
I would recommend blocking bot accounts you find annoying vs blocking all bots.
This is an excellent point. Thanks for taking the time to add this!
