I keep seeing communities which seem to consist of nothing but a bot that reposts stuff from Reddit.
What’s the point? Really? I ain’t posting a comment about a funny thing there. No one seems to post about the the second-hand funny thing here.
Can we please just sever ties with that shithole altogether?
Not unilaterally. Linking to reddit is fine, but bots that just repost links are not. If you, a person, find something on reddit that’s worthwhile (a comic that’s only posted on reddit, or a thread detailing a tech solution, or something else) and link it, then that’s fine. You, a person, found value on another site and shared it. I don’t care what a bot thinks. I care what you, my fellow lemming, thinks.
Block the bots making those posts, there are only around 3 or so that keep spamming. Your feed will feel a lot better after.
Liberal use of the block feature has made the Fediverse so much more pleasant. I can’t recommend it enough!
If you don’t like it, block them.
Thanks I will, but the theme of the community is not what I object to, it’s the link to Reddit content.
