You can once they have both been set up, the history from that point on is shared.

The same reason you said a 32 hour work week is impossible, “because manufacturing”
Why does overtime exist already? The question you are asking on the face is so asinine it barely merits a response.
The blue collar workers aren’t “picking up the slack” of a sysadmin who manages the warehouse system, are they? no, they don’t have the desire or skills to manage a server and that’s fine. But you cannot pick up slack for people who do uniquely different work?

If you need a bot to convert links for you, you don’t have a brain.

A bot that masquerades as a regular user and posts paid marketing content once a month
A bot that posts political articles with tailored sensational/biased headlines
A bot that records all activity on an instance and creates a topological graph of the activity tied to users and the content they interact with
A bot that posts a picture of cat, a picture that anyone can fucking google or something that nobody needs or asked for
Who fucking cares if you can come up with harmless “good” uses for bots… they always come with the bad.

Humans literally run bots to do things that they wouldn’t/couldn’t/or shouldn’t DO. Your logic is beyond reproach.
Mods are an incredibly inefficient way to moderate people.

That leads me to another topic, I disagree. You know scientists always trying to make things happen but never asking if they “Should”?
That’s how I feel about “good” bot content, where, sure, a bot can post something that generates a novel human discussion, but I think this is also inherently bad and is as close as you can get to providing a “turn-key community brainwash application” to anyone who wants it.
IE: the bot posts good stuff, we all pat the bot on the back with upvotes because it wasn’t horrible, but then we trust the bot, people trust the bot, then there is no way for us to know if the bot is compromised, what if the bot is compromised, and is slowly but surely, algorithmically recommending content to divide and confuse, FUD, etc…
This is my concern, and lambast me for paranoia, but I’m not wrong, and this is one reason reddit went down the shithole.
Agreed, I quit my browser when I encounter that sense that I’ve read this or heard this already… that sensation is happening more and more frequently and so far, the fediverse has been a huge let down for me personally. I was hoping for a return to sense and humble origins of what made reddit good, instead people are literally just emulating reddit 2019 culture on the fediverse and it gives me extremely senior “get off my lawn” vibes.
