Hi all,
What’s your opinion on the repost bot in the AITA community? From my perspective, it provides little to no value to cross post such content from another website.
First of all, AITA lives off the comments and if there aren’t any, it’s not really entertaining to read the posts.
Second, if someone hypothetically replied here, it would never reach the OP on reddit, so it’s not meaningful to make the effort.
And last but not least, if there are sometimes dozens of reposts per hour here, it drowns any interesting original content on Lemmy.
So overall I guess it brings more harm than good.
PS: Originally I planned to post this in the AITA community directly but ironically it’s locked down to “mods only”. So there’s not even a chance to have there any original content.
Regards, rbn
You’re entitled to your own opinion, but you seem to be assigning your opinion to me as well.
I didn’t leave reddit because the content was bad. I left because they stopped supporting mobile apps. That seems to be why most people left to be honest.
Lemmy is my one stop shop for news and social media. If there were not news stories being reposted from Reddit then Lemmy would not be a suitable reddit replacement.
No one is assigning their opinion to you. We each have our own competing opinions which we are advocating for.
If you stop the bots, actual people will start posting actual content like an actual community.
