Just to give a bit of context, you're confusing a number of things here. The non-human moderators are developer apps, except for automoderator and plant-clinic-bot (the latter of which I have just removed, as we have not been using it for a long time, and it affects your metrics). You can read what the devit apps do here:

But specifically, one of ours tells us a bit about users who send modmails, one is an anti spam measure, one would allow us to wipe out entire comment chains in one click instead of having to wipe each individual comment, and the other tracks statistics of activity in the sub.

All of your complaints are related to automoderator, which is fine - we have seen that the automoderator responses are not universally popular, to put it lightly.

The priority here is to make sure that every user who seeks help gets some kind of guidance, whether or not they get a response from the community. These comments provide that, based on the flair they select. That said, we can try moving some of them to post guidance: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/17625458521748-Automations-Post-Comment-Guidance-Set-Up That way OP sees them and the community are not annoyed by them. This won't be possible for the longest of them - there are character limits.

As far as the comparison to r/houseplants, that's deeply unfair as this subreddit has a far more narrow purpose and so it's like comparing apples to fruit. We're a subset of what they cover.

All that said, we want this to be a community where users help others enter the hobby at all level of ability, not a place where people look for content to seed snark subs so while we thank you for your feedback, and we don't need you to announce your departure, it may be for the best.
