What's a repost bot?

Self-explanatory.

I find it cathartic. Anybody still using Reddit is basically choosing this self inflicted harm.

EDIT: Oh this is on the Fediverse? Somebody start IP banning these Bozos and Chucklefucks.

Whats a self?

I wish I could block it so people wanting thoughtless content could mindlessly upvote this content and the rest of us could enjoy this platform for what it is.

Better men than me have spent lifetimes trying to answer that.

A bot that reposts.

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??

And then they get mirrored to fediverse via bots...

Hello again, I see we're both annoyed by the same person still

Yeah this shit is getting out of hand.

A self is what asks the self, what are you?

Just takes the top of Reddit and reposts it here.

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.

There is a report button, I encourage people to use it.

The knights of new were what made reddit good, where are they

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.

You already posted a very similar comment to this.

sorry, my page reloaded while editing and I assumed it hadn't sent.

Oh yeah, no, that shouldn't happen.

It’s okay just promise you won’t do it again.

I promise 🙏 forgive me?

Yes but I won’t forget.

I'm out here in New/ 1hr / all fighting for my fucking life

Can't wait for this to be reposted by the bots.

People should have left reddit months ago

It's not a bot reposting on reddit, it's a bot reposting things from reddit to the fediverse.

Yep. I see this all over the new feed.

It's stupid just reposting 100% from another place. If I wanted that, I'd just go there.

Now have you tagged as "elephant".

Years.

Same time sexy pig boy abandoned his users.

How did you know my penis was 5 to 6.5 feet long?

They’re using the ignorance defense.

If they don’t use reddit how do they know is a repost?

(The answer is a little intelligence and a bit of common sense).

🫡

I also never forget.

I guess that explains why your tag is skewer.

it got really aggressive on reddit as of late, usually in different usernames, but exact same titles verbatim. you would see the same post 4+times.

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.

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.

Yeah that’s the noise they made.

We're still here, but! do we have good taste?

You'd go to reddit?

Had two of them tagged already, but not the other. Thanks.

Edit: two not one
