I'm all for filtering out bots, but the title of this thread suggests a level of fatigue that produces an echo chamber of one-sided ideas (similar to flat earth groups who immediately permaban anyone who seems even remotely open to the possibility that the earth might be round).
To borrow a Trumpism, I think it'd be good for us to avoid being "low energy" when it comes to our willingness to hear other people's opinions, no matter how low effort they may initially be.
Though bots? Yeah, bots can just straight up get the permaban hammer. If somebody is behaving exactly like a bot, I suppose it's an acceptable casualty of online discourse.
That is very true, which is why down vote and upvote were such a good way to see Whose ideas were liked and whose weren't. It's hard to actually get banned here though if you are nice, logical and don't break the rules. In the past there have been some massive trolls who annoyed the shit out of everyone. Took forever for them to get banned/clean up their act. OGs can probably guess some of the ones I'm talking about. I'm not even talking about flat earth tards or doomers either.
