I hope that there's lack of a need for auto-mod at Lemmy in the future, as I expect each individual community to be smaller.

MODERATORS
I ended up unsubscribing from one of the Mod Support subs because every single thread was like this. There were at least four or five automod comments on every post. It was so fucking obnoxious.
I'm using Lemmy on desktop. The option of Apollo on desktop would have been game changing for me. The advertisements were messing with my mind!
You can use Apollo on desktop if you have an Apple Silicon Mac.

The Haiku bot was surprising. Unless I was imagining things.

Good bot.
you two, stop it right now!
Beep. Boop. Meow.
r/NeutralNews and r/NeutralPolitics were both bad for that. They had two auto-posts and, since I am slow, I clicked on them every time to the comments just to see the boilerplate auto-posts.
There's pretty much nothing stopping anyone from doing that here, though.
While true, we already have tools to work around it here. Accounts can be flagged as bots, and you can auto-hide posts from bot accounts.
I'm assuming an auto-mod would bypass that by design, but it'll work against the flood of student projects that Reddit threads were full of.
Theae comments are triggering me so hard. Lol
Bots are spam. Yes, even the "useful" ones.
I found a few ones useful but I can see your point. The cool part about Lemmy is that you can filter out bots
