More original content, less crap reposted via bots.
I just block all the bots so that I only see original content.
....and how do you do this?
By going to their profiles manually. After blocking a few of the prominent ones you usually don’t see bot posts.
I don't mind the bot posts, because they do bring a theater for discussion. But without an algorithm to float them they end up just being everything. Maybe if bots identified themselves as bots, and they could be sorted in after original content?
There’s an option to do that when you create an account
But do we do anything with it?
True
Damn I was kind of hopeful for a minute. Still the fact that the flag exists, I wonder if it's something we even surface that a client could deprioritize?
