I'm seeing all kinds of places I haven't seen when sorting by new.

If it's all reddit bot posts, I block the community, but I've seen plenty of growth as lurkers realize they have to actually post.

I just block the specific bots that do that.

Unless it's fanaticus where each sports team gets its own unique bot account, ugh

Like the Disco community I'm posting to right now? It's a legit community. I'm bored. Love the disco. Dance to the disco. Turn the music up.

Uh-oh. Somebody doesn't want to see disco music when sorting by new. Good thing there's no karma here, isn't it? I was actually considering not posting more to the Disco community because it's kind of funny how, when I sort by new, all I see are my posts to the Disco community. No new communities or bot posts or anything else. Fascinating. Truly fascinating. I've got disco music to search for on youtube for days. And I can post it to the legit community Disco. I think I'll just post some more. Because somebody is a little miffed.

I misread this as "were a bunch of new communists just created" and spent a couple of seconds really confused.
