MODERATORS
Hate repost bots, if you want to use one as a back-er-up-er-er it should post to a dedicated community intended to be an archive, not the main communities for a topic, they are practically spam and don't promote any conversation in the comments as people avoid commenting on something that has zero connection to the original poster of the question.
That's the intention of lemmit.online, but it leaks. It should just be a stand alone instance not federated to anywhere else.
Disagree. If it's tagged as a bot account, you can ignore it. You can block the community, instance, individual bots.
While I don't like them, other people do. This isn't a community where staffers currate, it's a place of free federation. By joining Lemmy you agree to use your time to curate your own content.
Sure. Only this is not content - it's just spam.
I find it very hard to believe there's a single user that finds any value in reposting /r/AITA posts. Without the comments the questions have no value as content.
Interesting timing with this making All yesterday. https://lemm.ee/post/10568520
That's not an /r/AITA post.
Additionally, you'll notice that the post that hit all is a cross post from an actual user. The original post from the bot has no upvotes and no comments.
IMO, this is really just evidence that the bot is counter productive.
Oh good catch, and point.
I 100% agree, for me. But while I find it hard to believe, some people may want it. They may run their own instance and subscribe to archive the content. They may just like to read it. I have no idea how crazy people are. All that being said, I’m in favor or separate archive communities.
