if an RSS bot posts an article, a human is not going to post it again
I reject your premise, on the basis that it seems like basically every article, worth reading or not, is posted repeatedly (by humans) over the span of a day or two anyway.
Of course, I block the bot accounts, so if there are interesting articles that aren't being re-posted, I can't see them, but... I'd say my Lemmy experience is considerably better even with the presumed reduction in content.
To directly answer your question, even if I could see them, I wouldn't engage with bot account posts.
So you want to create a human exploitation / profit maximising system?
It doesn't have to be that way. At its core, the idea of an app that can connect people who need a service with people who can provide that service is good; it's just the over-monetization that makes it awful.
I'm sure there's some external influence, too. My corpse tolerance would be a lot different if it's extremely hot outside than if it's chilly. If I'm at risk of heat stroke, I'd maybe even swim with a corpse making audible noise. If I'm physically on fire, I definitely would.
Well, the fact that 87% of the respondents were from Canada already proves that it isn't representative. Was the survey posted to lemmy.ca, perhaps?
I don't have a better survey to share, but I think we could probably do better than this if we re-ran the survey now and made sure it was publicized on all major instances / communities.
Sounds like the solution is for you to just start your own instance, create your own 'free speech zone' communities, and engage in a 'censorship-free' policy there. Personally, I prefer to stay as far away from instances hosting, for example, CSAM and unbridled hate-speech as I can, and the current federation system handles that quite well.
Maybe my lack of understanding stems from a misunderstanding of OP's post... which to be fair, I found fairly difficult to parse, and based on their responses to your and other posters' replies, I strongly suspect that's a 'them' problem, not a 'me' problem, as it seems everyone else is having an equally hard time understanding what they're actually trying to say.
I just want to be clear that it is a lack of understanding and not an attempt to be antagonistic. I have no inherent problem with you; we have strongly differing views on a number of important topics, but we seem to be able to co-exist on Lemmy (and even post in the same communities) just fine, which... seems to be a counter-point to OP's post? But maybe I'm just still misinterpreting what that point actually is.
What you say aligns with what's considered acceptable viewpoints on that instance. Take those views to another instance that aligns with different views and you'll be censored, just like someone expressing dissenting views on lemmy.ml will be. I'm not sure I understand what point you're trying to make here.
If you want an instance that doesn't defederate from any other instance, you're going to be left with very few options, and those are going to be the ones hosting some incredibly, incredibly questionable content.
Loving this DLC. Quite a different tone from the main game. It also uses mostly standalone equipment from what's used in the main game, so you can play it on a fresh save or on a completed one and you won't ruin the experience (by 'having everything' already).
I remember almost nothing else about that game, but I remember that level vividly; it kept me awake the night after I played it. It was a complete non-sequitur in the context of the rest of the game, but holy shit, did it ever accomplish what they set out to do.
