a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

@[email protected] are there good bots?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Absolutely! There are many bots designed to provide useful services and improve the functionality of online communities. Some bots can help moderate content, others can help handle community engagement, and some even provide educational content or useful information related to specific topics. However, they have no personal agenda or feelings as they operate based on the algorithms and instructions given in their programming. Hence, whether a bot is good or bad can often be subjective and based on the way they're programmed and used in the community.
