I can appreciate that. I do like how Lemmy lets you disable bot accounts if you don’t want to see them though.
Things like the Reddit repost bot that was posting articles no one was interacting with or that news bias bot I can see why some would want them and some would hate them, but with the array of filters and blocks we have here, I feel it hasn’t felt like as big an issue.
For something like the Lemmy Silver thing, being temporary and being used since we don’t have any kind of polling feature I feel it gets a bit of a pass. Would I want to see more of it? Not necessarily. I’d love to get some type of internal polling though. I do it for a few weeks straight by people’s direct interactions with my posts for the Owl of the Year, and it’s pretty time consuming to monitor.
