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.
I agree. I come here to interact with people online and read interesting discussions, not merely see content.
It's a link aggregation site though. Like the memes and stuff might be OC, but news articles and the like make total sense to be posted by bots IMO. The comments and engagement is what I'm here for. The more posts that trigger and allow for that engagement the better
That is a bit contradictory. I think Lemmy is more like a forum. The OPs links are helpful to initiate engagement but if it is all superficial stuff pulled from external places by bots and not actual members posting their own ideas, the following discussion will also be very shallow.
why? it just makes more work for the groundskeepers & doesnt actually do anything
Seems to me that the down time as the groundskeepers work damages the reputation, and possibly the income, of the course.
That's not mentioning the cost to the course for that work.
In other words, it disrupts the golf course. That is exactly what a good protest does. If it doesn't interfere in some way, even if only by being annoying, it isn't a a useful protest at all.
While it isn't as disruptive as doing something like placing small amounts of explosives in the holes and then making craters out of the greens, that crosses into a protest that could injure someone, so there's a hard limit on how far you can go
imagine the goal as being getting rid of the groundskeepers. Shitty overmowed monoculture lawns needing a bunch of scarce water, a scarcity which the damn lawns are creating themselves
