I hate these bots, all they do is spam the platform with garbage. There’s a couple RSS bots that just repost news pages to a bunch of communities. What’s the point? If I wanted an RSS feed of a news site I’d just… subscribe to their RSS feed.

These bot accounts seem to have popped up recently.

While we’re on the topic; any decent smart watches out there that

• don’t harvest my data
