Not comments are fine, but I don’t want to see posts without real users behind them.

    What is your definition of bot? Even if you toggle the “I’m a bot option” off you can still access the API using a programming interface. Thus you are able to run a bot even if its account has not been defined as a bot.

    It is probably possible to create a client (like Jerboa or Lemmy-UI) that is able to hide messages from accounts that are defined as a bot. But if a account hasn’t been defined as a bot, its messages will still show up, even if they are written by an automated script.
