Yea, bot posts screw up our posts:comments ratio

They make a ton of posts but we don't have enough commenters to hit all of them. What few comments they do get are spread out across different posts so there's no back and forth conversation, engagement dies.

and seeing a bunch of posts with 0 comments or OP not responding causes users to leave Lemmy

    Yes. And I've seen people do really weird (and worse) stuff, like re-post questions. And if you're unaware of that, you're bound to take 10mins out of your day to answer the product or Linux or life question and later find out you were ripped off. At least that's how it feels to me if people fabricate that kind of activity. And it kills the mood to write comments for a while.
