Seems like you are testing the Reddit scraper bot already? Maybe make a new account for it and mark it as a bot so that people can hide it if they want.
Yeah, sorry got the scheduler wrong too. Only going to do one a day.
I'll never understand the antibot sentiment. Reddit was filled with bots reposting stuff all the time too. Who cares? Let the votes decide if it's good or not
It can drown out contributions and questions from actual humans using the site. So while you can also have a useful discussion on a bot posted thread, ultimately someone has to create original content somewhere and people get discouraged if their original posts are lost in a flood of bot posts.
One consideration is who controls the bot and decides what information it spreads.
A corporation or government agency could use bots to have significant influence over decentralized social media
For sure. But isn't that what votes are for? As long as it's not from obviously problematic sources I'm still not seeing a big issue here either.
Bots can post advertisements, disinformation etc. More likely their message will spread if they keep exposing people to it. And yeah, bot accounts can also vote
