  • That’s a good point. If I didn’t see that they were bot accounts it would probably be an ignorance-is-bliss situation. I just wouldn’t notice. Though, using desktop, it’s fairly obvious since most have the “b” next to their names that also include “bot”.

    A lot of the time, you’ll see OP engage in the comments of what they post because they themselves have a personal interest in it. You don’t get that with bots. I have to wonder if bots are denying humans that chance. Someone goes to post something they found, but the reddit repost bot already pulled it from some subreddit’s new feed.


  • I can understand this take; I realize it probably boils down to personal preference, but seeing the mod bot with 2 of the top posts of the last 6 hours just feels like a bad look for a community to me. It’s stated purpose:

    I’m a bot designed to increase content created on Lemmy, to try and jump-start communities, and make Lemmy overall a more enjoyable place

    This is a relatively active community, and I don’t think it really needs to be “jump started” anymore. Let humans post the content. That’s what I want to see and engage with. I still think there is a place for bot posts, but with a much more limited scope (episode discussion threads, sports scores as was mentioned elsewhere, etc.). Nothing turns me off a community faster than seeing half the top post from a bot.







  • I read this and it does not say he shot down rumors of a justice league live action film despite that being stated in the title. This is all it has to say regarding Justice League:

    DC announced over the weekend a Justice League animated film that would be released in 2024 and it’s based on Crisis on Infinite Earths. Many deduced that this could be the basis of a possible live-action film by Gunn. However, Gunn shot down the rumor by replying to a fan with a simple “No,” on Threads.

    It simply states there is no Justice League film based on Crisis on Infinite Earths coming. This article mentions 3 heroes—Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl and Mister Terrific—but fails to mention they also added Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho to the cast as well. Feels like the author kind of half-assed this. Honestly though, whether the movie is labeled as such or not, once you reach a certain number of DC heroes teaming up it becomes a Justice League film by default.
