For example unit conversion, reminders, sources, bots that get triggered when you mention a series or book or stuff like that and provide a small Summary of said thing.
We aren’t talking about spam bots that plaster the place with onlyfans shit or something.
I didn’t mean to imply that all bots are spam, or that they aren’t useful in any way. I wouldn’t be opposed to community-specific bots, like one that provides a series summary on a community for TV shows.
I just really don’t want to have like a third of comments being bots. The community numbers are still fairly low, and Lemmy users are (for the time being, anyways) generally tech-inclined so bots could rapidly be a much too large part of posts/comments. I’m here because I want to interact with people, not bots.
Nah there are many useful bots that help people.

Yes thats definitely true, i think bot accounts have to be marked as such anyway.
Luckily, there’s a checkbox in the profile that can be enabled to mark an account as a bot
