Yes, I am aware how ironic it is to post this on Lemmy.

    Same experience here. I don’t think I’ve seen a bot in the comments yet, different story on Reddit thats for sure. And when I tried the recent Digg reboot, I’m pretty sure every second or third account was a bot

      There used to be PipedVideoBot who would reply to every comment containing a YouTube link with a piped.video version. It was quite annoying, people who prefer Piped usually have a redirect set up to an instance of their choice, while others use no proxy but alternative frontends like NewPipe, Grayjay or Revanced.

      I also did automation on another account of mine, posting an entry from Random Tan Studio’s “Humanization” series on !morphmoe@ani.social every day. No AI except waifu2x to upscale (the images were created as quite low-res bitmaps and looked very blurry when rescaled, which almost all modern clients do). I didn’t consider it a bot account since I would log in myself almost every day and react to comments.
