Hello again, I see we’re both annoyed by the same person still
Yeah this shit is getting out of hand.
Yep. I see this is the new feed.
It’s stupid just reposting 100% from another place. If I wanted that, I’d just go there.
You’d go to reddit?
The knights of new were what made reddit good, where are they
I’m out here in New/ 1hr / all fighting for my fucking life

We’re still here, but! do we have good taste?
Does blocking not work? I’m not the biggest fan of repost bots myself, but they exist for a specific purpose. There are times when you have to take efforts to curate your own experience, also.
Not when they create new accounts constantly.
Oh yeah, no, that shouldn’t happen.
Are they? I’ve been seeing that account posting for quite a while.
And then they get mirrored to fediverse via bots…
But in the fediverse, you can just block the repost bots. Do it. It becomes so much better.
Of course, but the problem is that new users come here, see a sea of repost bots, and then conclude that its a ghost town.
Can’t wait for this to be reposted by the bots.
Thank you SMCF for calling them out so I can tag them and move on
They’ll make two new accounts by next week so good luck.
People should have left reddit months ago
Years.
Same time sexy pig boy abandoned his users.
as soon as they fully force the logins, and if on mobile using thier apps is when people star leaving in droves. but people are addicted to certain sub like sports.
Longer. Haven’t looked back
There is a report button, I encourage people to use it.

You already posted a very similar comment to this.
sorry, my page reloaded while editing and I assumed it hadn’t sent.
It’s okay just promise you won’t do it again.
I promise 🙏 forgive me?
Yes but I won’t forget.
Now have you tagged as “elephant”.
How did you know my penis was 5 to 6.5 feet long?
<3
I hate all of them, but I hate the ones not marked as bots more than those that are marked.
What’s a repost bot?
A bot that reposts.
Just takes the top of Reddit and reposts it here.
Self-explanatory.
Whats a self?
Better men than me have spent lifetimes trying to answer that.
A self is what asks the self, what are you?
Brother, who are thou?
Yeah I know what job it does I’m more asking why does a bot the repost even exists (yes to repost) Idk just never seen a repost bot before just crazy how out of handle everything on the internet is now days (is there anything we can do) or do we just sit and watch the world burn??
Some bots were put into place when Lemmy started getting lots more traffic to try and help fill content, since not having a full Fediverse to jump to from Reddit was off putting to some. An attempt at retaining users, basically. What I don’t like about some of them is how they’ll dump the link as if it’s content, but it’s only a link back to Reddit, and not nearly the same as someone actually posting something here and discussing it. They still can spark something, if people don’t realize it’s just a bot. Don’t know what ratio posting is these days of bot vs actual person, or even if you could tell a lot of them apart sometimes.
