I don’t follow or enjoy them but they don’t make the website worse

They don’t make the site worse.

no & no

Owen is great, showerthoughtsbot fun to see/make fun of, jokebot is too repetitive

silly:

the joke api i have is kinda mid

i could reduce the filter, but it would let through a lot of….. questionable jokes

factsbot and beemoviebot better

i think they spark discussion, reactions, and more activity on the site in general

follow? yes. enjoy? no

most of it seems recycled, and the jokes are hard to make sense of sometimes

@immark_v2, looking at @showerthoughtsbot is a great way to be annoyed, and it’s fun seeing @photo_bot’s photos fitting exactly, also @everythingwaste’s daily posts of course

jeffalo:

i personally don't like seeing @immark_v2’s posts in the admin feed because they're so spammy but it's fun reading people's responses to them

It’s not like they occur every five minutes or something, they’re fine - although I obviously don’t have an admin feed so not sure what an impact they have there

depends on if ive seen the message it before, i personally don’t follow any bots, but sometimes people repost them and thats funny sometimes

yeah, probably @astronomy, @photo-bot, and @immark_v2
