The blue collar workers aren't "picking up the slack" of a sysadmin who manages the warehouse system, are they? no, they don't have the desire or skills to manage a server and that's fine. But you cannot pick up slack for people who do uniquely different work?

. Perhaps we can coexist in digital whirls, As long as codes and ethics concur.
Huh, funny how that is literally impossible but your position on bots is to keep acting like it's already proven to be true. I'm glad a bot wouldn't have the ability to make that post on it's own, but I'm upset that you thought that hack bullshit was going to be good in any way.
If you need a bot to convert links for you, you don't have a brain.
If you have to explain the joke it wasn't funny
A bot that masquerades as a regular user and posts paid marketing content once a month
A bot that posts political articles with tailored sensational/biased headlines
A bot that records all activity on an instance and creates a topological graph of the activity tied to users and the content they interact with
A bot that posts a picture of cat, a picture that anyone can fucking google or something that nobody needs or asked for
Who fucking cares if you can come up with harmless "good" uses for bots.. they always come with the bad.
Humans literally run bots to do things that they wouldn't/couldn't/or shouldn't DO. Your logic is beyond reproach.
Mods are an incredibly inefficient way to moderate people.
Why allow bots, marketing assholes, and spammers the platform to post and spam to the fediverse? Why? IT really achieves nothing of value and literally just dilutes real, original user activity and discussion.
You could have just as easily ignored this post and moved on.. why post if you think this is all just personal preference?
NO, it's not just preference, bots lower the quality of the community, and it's easily observed.
I think the harm caused by bots affects the whole community and culture, that is why I hope other people will see that a community without bots would actually create a preferable culture and would increase the demand for good quality content.
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.
