recent changes in their comment system have reduced my exposure to bots to a level I much prefer over every other platform I use

How recent? As recently as last weekend I was seeing blue check marks replying with AI generated only-technically-related replies on top of the majority of the posts I looked at.

If that's actually true, good for them, but after what I've witnessed there not that long ago, I doubt I'll try it ever again.

There are bots here too, lot of them, to a point that rules were amended, this is because it's very valuable to give points to new publications

This sounds like something an AI would write. It even uses the em-dash several times.

Let the witch trials commence.

No, we are not madly harvesting the world's resources in a monomaniacal attempt to optimize artificial intelligence. We are, however, harvesting the world's resources in an attempt to optimize artificial intelligence.
