That’s a very fancy way of saying, “I bake the middest of mid bread.” And I approve
Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social 3 days agoI post pictures of bread bake and I’m on the upper lower middle side of mid for my baking skills.
If someone picks the best bread on a subreddit with a million members my posts will be buried instantly so what’s the point in adding real content?

I think that’s a bad analogy for a few reasons. First, all the examples you’ve posted are specifically meme template-friendly subs, which makes sense since they’re inherently easy to repost. I don’t think think a baking community would have that problem. But even if it did, you could just start a new baking community that bans reposts? Given how unpopular repost bots are, I assume your anti-repost baking community would be more popular than the hypothetical pro-repost baking community that your posts are buried in. Assuming that repost bots are drowning out more organic content, which prima facie doesn’t seem to be the case in either community you screenshotted as examples. Both seem like pretty solid examples of their being no other content.
Structurally speaking, up and down votes should ideally, roughly sort posts by quality. A post being buried (unpopular) in a community isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
If fear of not getting enough internet points is what’s keeping someone from posting, that’s more on them.

If I wanted to battle bots for engagement I’d be on reddit.
