If we’re being fair, I’m just parroting the exact same line that gets repeated whenever any unpopularopinion is actually pretty popular.

The unpopular opinion would be: due to having a far lower user base than reddit, bots fill a unique and necessary role on Lemmy that would be a thankless task for an actual user.

I’m witholding judgement, but I do think I’ve seen the same articles posted in several fediverse and it is getting old.
