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

    source
• auzy1@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

  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.

  People should have abandoned reddit months ago

    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.

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

  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.

  • SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Not when they create new accounts constantly.

    source

    • rosahaj@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Oh yeah, no, that shouldn’t happen.

      source
• CameronDev@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  And then they get mirrored to fediverse via bots…

  source

  • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    But in the fediverse, you can just block the repost bots. Do it. It becomes so much better.

    source

    • CameronDev@programming.dev ⁨53⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      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.

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

    You already posted a very similar comment to this.

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

  source

  • RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

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

    source

    • SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      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).

  • SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    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.
