I've grabbed a couple in the hopes that I can keep the bots at bay until I can either grow them or hand off to an owner that do the same. I was concerned about bots taking them.
How do you think that is going to work?
Grabbing /m/javascript on kbin.social doesn't stop people creating /c/javascript on lemmy.world and /c/javascript on programming.dev
People will ignore subs with no posts and go to ones with actual content.
You've just created an entry for people to scroll past.
You're pointing out flaws in the fediverse, not in the user's way of thinking.
Thank you. My whole purpose was to get ahead of the bots. That said, I will either grow my magazines on my own, or gladly hand them off to someone who will be a good steward.
I don't think there's any harm in that.
If I like a band and see there's a magazine focused on them but it isn't active I will subscribe and hope it grows. I'm not gonna sit here every day bitter that I subscribed to a magazine that doesn't have content. It's not like there's a limit on how many I can sub to.
That was a stupid take that dude had.
