Is the Lemmy experience worsening? How do I block Reddit bots but allow participation?

It seems to me that over the last two weeks, the Lemmy experience has been worsening. My front page and communities are filled with Reddit re-posting bots.

While this gives off a feeling of being active, it’s like a ghost town invaded by AI.

But if I block these bots, I also take the risk that I’m unable to participate in actual conversations between non-bot Lemmy participants.

You can turn of all bots in your user settings if you want.

But we are active and i haven’t seen AI spam bots that haven’t been purged fast.
