Is there an option to report accounts / comments? Are bots even forbidden? I'm with you, Reddit was a bot shit show and I'd love to see a space with zero bots. I think even the utility bots like unit conversion added very little value.
The SCP sub had a bot that would tag any relevant SCP articles that you mention in your title or in the comments. It was extremely useful for getting into the community.
The difficult part about that is, the way Lemmy is designed to easily integrate any custom client also allows bots to be made even easier. Only way to really do it would be by restricting the API, and with it, a lot of the freedoms of Lemmy.
There definitely were good bots on Reddit - they were just drowned out by a million shitty ones.
