All the content, none of the Spez? Or, is it better if Lemmy stays distinct?

    A few comments, some of which have been touched on by others:

    • One of the reasons Reddit went to the new pricing was to prevent LLMs from scraping their content and using it for free. I don’t think a bot like this would work for the same reason.

    • I personally don’t want a duplicate of Reddit. I’d prefer this to be a new community that can do better.

    • One of the things that drove me away from Reddit (besides their horrible handling of 3PAs) was all the bot posts. If there were a way to make sure that bot accounts were identified as such, that would be perfect. Hell, I’d rather have zero bot posts than the current state of Reddit.

    TLDR: I vote no.
