That would require for bots to actually be tagged as bots and I’ve seen a couple that aren’t (it’s more like people use their account normally but also use some script linked to an RSS feed to post things as soon as they come out).
Also I don’t want to block ALL the bots, and blocking those specific accounts would kill the feed for some commuties (mostly things like “news”) since nobody else posts but bots or scripted accounts (since people see those accounts posting everything, there’s no incentive for anyone else to contribute).
That’s why I’d like to see lemmy without bots or automatic posts, just people sharing what they actually like and not what other sites tell the bots we must see something.
Some clients let you block all botted content
It’s a Lemmy feature actually. You can go in your account settings and unchecked “view bot posts”.

That control needs to be more granular than on/off.
Because the rest of humanity is still plugged in to the matrix and bots are the only way we can hear them and discuss where they’re taking about
