I’m always curious as to what these “don’t bother coming at me” comments are actually supposed to achieve. What is the point of making a public statement, and preemptively dismissing discussion as “bots” in one fell swoop? Is it just you venting out or something?

It's a tantrum. Just pat their head and tell them it'll be OK.

It's not that simple. Is a soapbox a tantrum?

I don't agree with Nick, but the point of making such a comment is to be heard and it does serve an important role in society. It's easy not to empathize with a group we perceive as tiny and without representation, and it's difficult to speak up when you think you're alone.

Ideally they would defend their point, but not everybody has a spare several hours each day to spend on the Fediverse.

I’d agree if it wasn’t that in this specific case, I don’t think you really get heard by making such absolute statements and calling people that disagree with the point of view bots.
