The Piped bot pisses me off because it doesn't seem to check if the triggering comment already includes the exact link it's about to post. I used to preemptively include Piped links with any YouTube ones but since it would trigger the bot anyway I just stopped bothering.
Aside from the clutter it adds, until I added the bot itself to my blocklist (instead of just relying on "Show bots" being unchecked in settings) it would also cause reply notifications that couldn't be cleared in the default Lemmy web UI.
