It's pretty much just spam. It posts so frequently that having any hope of getting organic discussion on one of the threads is drowned out.
It's goal seems to be to make Lemmy look more active, but achieves the opposite.
I don't really get the point. I mean, of course we want to attract people, but do we really want to trick them into thinking that there is content when there's not ?
The other day I took some time to answer somebody and came back later to finally understand that I was talking to a bot. Not only did I waste my time, but the real person needing help didn't even know I tried to help. I felt aweful.
I know the job is hard for mods to create content and motivate people into participating but there must be another way.
Yeah, I've blocked @[email protected] so I don't accidentally do that. I could see it maybe being useful back before the massive influx we recently had, and only if it posted the top 3 or so posts of a subreddit per day.
Now it's useless, arguably making Lemmy worse. It seems plenty active here now that I've subscribed to a bunch of (real) communities.
