It’s all relative but more or less yes.

Dumb phone has no software features (e.g. Nokia 5110 or so — unless you count the snake game), feature phone has software features but limited to the ones that come with the phone (rarely installable at all), smart phone has actual software aka “apps”

The point where it becomes a general-purpose computing device, I think. Programmability is generally what makes it “smart”, i.e. not having the limitation of predefined “features” which make it a feature phone.

I’ll say I’m correct on a technicality. 2006 is not “long before smartphones” only a year or so. The N73 is a sort of proto-smartphone, even if the term wasn’t in use yet.

Clearly you’ve never seen any misleading marketing.

I adore Lemmy, but one frustration that I keep running into is the quantity of shit expelled by Reddit mirror/repost bots.

No one comments on them, they’re always at a low score, and yet it seems like they account for half the “all” feed.

What does everyone do about this? Just block the shitty communities that these bots infest and move on? Block the bots themselves? Block the instances that host them? Is there any solution that would limit their damage to the default user experience?

Specific culprits, for context:

Now that I post this, I think I spot the common problem amongst these…
