When people ask about moderating on #Reddit, this is a great example where the bot automation is/was done so poorly it leaks into their actual posted comments. With BotBouncer, it's an app and directory shared by over 4k+ subs that sucks the oxygen out of the room for these accounts instantly.

While I was away this week at the #M365 Conference a black kitten showed up on our porch, so naturally @melissapowers.bsky.social took him to the vet and let him stay in her office. I’m like 100.99% sure I’m coming home to a third cat after this level of cuteness.

Watching everyone across the internet basically vibing out clones of entire industries has been wild. I knew that throwaway apps would be a huge part of this, but I didn't realize how many of them would become scoped to an individual user's needs.
