I think part of the point here is that communities that aren't following common, reasonable guidelines are ultimately going to be defederated by communities who care about those guidelines.
Nah, I mean more that I think relying on people to just post stuff themselves would be better for the community. But scraping would be the way forward, relying on the API would be prohibitively expensive IMO.
No, no, I think it would ultimately be better to rely on people to post stuff. But scraping links would be better than using the API.
I don't think basic scraping will be particularly difficult, especially if the rates are kept low. While I also don't think it's actually the right way forward, I'll happily help out.
It's early days. Give the culture time to develop.
Okay, but what exactly did you post? C'mon now.
Well, go on, what did you post, then?
The thing about automod comments is that they were, indeed, comments. As such, they showed up in your replies.
So if you made a post, you'd get that message in a place you would expect to see content that you would actually want to engage with, that is, people discussing your post.
So, in short, yes.
