Accepting the ability of self-indentification is one of the few exceptions I would be willing to make.
I cannot support it logically, but I truly want to believe in it.

Definitely adding it to my Todo list, thanks for the suggestion!!
Anybody that simply asserts their statement to be true, is not worth talking to.
Historically, there have been countless statements about the human nature proved wrong. Some of them were even used to support the most harmful idealogies like sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia etc.
It's never about correctness, science knows better than simply referring to human nature.

I automatically reject any arguments based on the "human nature". We know jack shit about our nature.
Been trying to manage without medication for quite sometime.
When I was able to consistently run daily, it helped, but keeping a habit is really hard for me.
Also, having a healthy diet helped, while I was able to maintain it.
Overall, I am not doing a great job so far, I hope you have better luck.
What if you account for roads not being straight?
I don't know why, but this exchange felt of fucking romantic. Keep up the good work you amazing people!
What's the Gentoo equivalent of an instance?

TLDR Bots can be good, bots can also be bad. We need to find a balance.
I feel the value of Reddit, Lemmy, and any similar platform does not come from the post itself but (a) the interactions within the comments and (b) the sorting based on votes.
These two features make information here reliable and obtaining reliable information becomes more productive.
For example, an article expresses information verified by a single person or a team, but when that article is posted here many people read it and share their opinion. I can go through the comments and determine how bullshit or not that article is. Also, the comments contain quotes, summaries and relevant information which one would have to spend hours researching. Lastly, when multiple articles are posted on a community sorting allows me to find the articles worth my time.
It does not matter if the post was created by a bot, but whether humans interacted with it.
With all that, I would like to agree with some people here that bots can be a threat. If the content they produce overwhelms the humans interacting with the content.
If human content is buried under thousands of bot posts, noone will interact with it. We need lemmings to feel they are valued by their communities, they shouldn't have to compete with emotionless robots.
yes! yes! yes! I have the same problem.
My suggestion is to add a view with subscriptions ordered by the selected criterion (i.e. new/active/hot/top) and below each community there is vertical list with posts from that community sorted.
This would allow see what's up with the communities we follow and then jump in those communities if we find anything interesting.
