Are auto boosting bots usefull to you? Have they actually resualted in your posts getting seen and more likes/boosts from human accounts?
The #fediverse has #bots that seem to auto #boost #posts about just about any popular hashtag, with the creators of these bots usually centralised.
edit: like i'l see a bunch of them coming from one specific server.
@Emi299 I like the idea but I feel like it doesn't result in any more reach.
@lianna I agree. Me personally, my issue with them is that many of them seem to come from a few number of servers. The ones you see all the time particularly. The idea doesn't sound bad but I don't think it actually increases peoples each.
Which is why I was surprised to see how even the split was in the poll resualts.
It feels like spam, and thought maybe i'd make this poll to see if people on Mastodon actually found these bots of use.
