A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
Depends on the bot and its target subs. Some subreddits are set up to restrict posting below a certain karma line, so bots aimed at those will do stuff like posting to their own profile—to get around, say, a moderation tool that'll auto-ban accounts that post in "free karma subreddits"—to build up the needed karma to post wherever. Those are the ones I assume @Kay_Angel is thinking of
But, a bot that's aimed at a less restrictive community wouldn't need to jump through the hoops so would work a lot more directly.
