You can once they have both been set up, the history from that point on is shared.

The same reason you said a 32 hour work week is impossible, “because manufacturing”

Why does overtime exist already? The question you are asking on the face is so asinine it barely merits a response.

If you need a bot to convert links for you, you don’t have a brain.

That leads me to another topic, I disagree. You know scientists always trying to make things happen but never asking if they “Should”?

That’s how I feel about “good” bot content, where, sure, a bot can post something that generates a novel human discussion, but I think this is also inherently bad and is as close as you can get to providing a “turn-key community brainwash application” to anyone who wants it.

IE: the bot posts good stuff, we all pat the bot on the back with upvotes because it wasn’t horrible, but then we trust the bot, people trust the bot, then there is no way for us to know if the bot is compromised, what if the bot is compromised, and is slowly but surely, algorithmically recommending content to divide and confuse, FUD, etc…

This is my concern, and lambast me for paranoia, but I’m not wrong, and this is one reason reddit went down the shithole.

Agreed, I quit my browser when I encounter that sense that I’ve read this or heard this already… that sensation is happening more and more frequently and so far, the fediverse has been a huge let down for me personally. I was hoping for a return to sense and humble origins of what made reddit good, instead people are literally just emulating reddit 2019 culture on the fediverse and it gives me extremely senior “get off my lawn” vibes.

Unless this becomes a standard for the fediverse. I’m going to opt-out of fediverse social media altogether. Bots have no place in human based social media : full-stop.

What’s wrong that is for that bot to exist, the platform must explicitly allow other bots to also exist for fairness sake, it’s a bot floodgate. I think the floodgate should be vehemently shut latched and bolted down sooner than later, and I already think it’s too late.

While I see the merit, I digress, I don’t think any bots should be allowed for non-admin users.

That’s my understanding as well, I think a hardline on this topic that can be agreed upon as a federation standard will work wonders to curb potential spam and bot abuse in the future.

More proof FlyingSquid is nothing but a glowy.

18% still too high

For a person who makes automated bots to post shitty content (flyingsquid) You clearly have no principals, so according to what, makes it too high?

This @FlyingSquid guy is the epitome of everything that is horrible and bad about reddit.

Karma farming through automated bots : check

Making stupid horrible comments to fuel reply outrage : check

Randomly generated username adjective+noun : check

Creates “content” which is just randomly generated usernames posting stolen previously watermarked memes to places like /shitposting : check

No awareness of this egregious behavior : check

Fucking ban this clown and remove him from the gene pool
