Why does shitjustworks have so many bots? I see certain communities like this where brand new accounts just spam random images. I have a dozen new accounts blocked every day and it’s getting tedious.

What is their purpose?

      Bots like that suck. :(

      I don’t know why people want to step in and break something people are running for free without every even glimpsing a profit for doing so.

        If you want a crackpot conspiracy theory: It’s Spez paying for bots to ruin Lemmy. If he can’t get rid of bots on his own platform, he can try to make the competition worse.
