  • For me it depends on what the bot is actually doing. I don’t have any problem with a bot that helps with moderation, provides an unpaywalled article, or others that help the user.

    What I do dislike are all the bots that are just making posts from an RSS feed. If it’s a dedicated community for that purpose that’s fine, but that’s often not the case.

    edit: I think a simple way to sum up my feelings is that I don’t want bots posting content, I want people to do that. Bots can help parse that content, or even provide context, but I don’t come here to interact with them.















  • Ubuntu for my servers, and Linux Mint for my Workstation.

    I grew up using Debian-based distros, so it’s what I’m comfortable with. I like how Mint seems to “just work” most of the time, especially with samba shares and usb peripherals.

    Ubuntu server is primarily because it’s incredibly easy to get support when you need it.
