I also found it ridiculous. Turns out, you can hide bot posts in your account settings if you login into the web version of your instance (vger doesn't display the option for example).

Ok I succumb to the summary illness: (in broken english via chatGPT (just for the fun))

In Spain, October start this year very hot. The weather guys say it's hottest ever. Almost 40% of weather machines show more than 32 degrees Celsius (that's like 90 Fahrenheit).

Our autumn, usually nice and cool, no good this year. Summer had four super-hot times in 24 days. They say humans make world warmer, you know?

On October 1st, it was like summer here! Way hotter than normal, 7 to 14 degrees more. They broke like 100 records for heat. Two cities in the south, Badajoz and Montoro, hottest ever in October with 38 C. Before it was 37.5 C in Marbella in 2014. Even in Madrid's Retiro Park, the old weather machine tied the record from 1930, 30 C.

The climate guy from AEMET said it's because of climate change. He thinks future summers will be even hotter and last longer into our usually nice rainy autumn. Not good, huh?

Ty for this, just did it. Like hell im going to trust some summary from a glorified autocomplete algorithm, ive seen them get it completely wrong and interpret it in biased ways.
