Very high number of posts, very few comments, for this user.
An average user with a genuine question or sharing will engage with other users. Although with LLMs, there are bots that reply too, in the writing you’ll see AI failings, not human failings.
I don’t think cm0002 is a bot. From what I remember, cm0002 makes a lot of posts to grow various communities, some of which are crossposts in between communities with similar topics. Although this account looks different from the one I remember, so maybe this one is an alt.
I personally don’t find that behaviour to be harmful unless it’s fully automated or a fire hose of low quality junk. If a human is picking out the content to post, then it gives people something to discuss and vote on.
I’m likely biased myself since I also schedule out posts with another account @[email protected]. I do that since this account is an admin account, and so I don’t want to risk any issues if the scheduling tool goes haywire. I do check it about once a day and respond to comments when appropriate, but overall the post to comment ratio on that account is pretty lopsided.
We DO get harmful bots too, and they get downvoted/reported/banned very quickly. Those are pretty obvious since they post spam and ads in unrelated communities.
Anything I don’t like or makes me uncomfortable is Russian bots, or Chinese weather/spy balloons, or North Korean propaganda. Everything I like is fact, evidence, and science-based because I said so, or someone I like said so.
All, it was more than a general strike. Also, fyi, OP is a bot
And yet I’ve had DM convos with them that were remarkably like talking with a human. Am I a bot?
I wish we had more bots posting useful links to articles.
Humans just seem to post screenshots of headlines ;/
How do you know? What are the lemmy telltale signs?
Highly disproportionate post to comment ratio is usually a good telltale sign

There, I just summed up humanity for you.
Are you going to apologize?
OP has posted like the majority of their post history (119 posts) in the last 24 hours
OP is very dedicated. Or maybe they’re just a shell script.
Prolly just describing yourself aka projecting
