Are you less likely to comment on a bot post? (lemmy.world)

I've found that I am. I sometimes write a reply, see that it was posted by an RSS bot, and delete the draft. OP doesn't exist so what's the point?

Yeah, bot posts are good IMO for things that are like once per day or less. More frequently and it can end up being spammy. OTOH, I've browsed all a few times and seen interesting posts from HN that I then went over and read, so there's something to be said for that too. Maybe if there was a more nuanced option, like "don't show me bot posts unless they've been upvoted by a non-bot" or something like that. Or maybe if bots reposting from elsewhere did that filtering beforehand, like top 10 per day or something
