Lemmy is being invaded by plagiarizing repost bots.
Is this a problem? I dont use reddit and like seeing (proven) interesting posts here?
the problem is that OP just reposts content from reddit without providing sources, links or anything remotely verifiable to follow up with the title.
It’s not a problem if you’re not worried about one person monopolizing a community by using a script to repost the top posts in a community of seventeen million but if you don’t have a problem with that why not just use Reddit instead?
Lots of reasons people don’t use reddit but still want content
Same. Naturally some good stuff will occasionally come from there or even less likable places. I just don’t want all of it coming from one guy. Especially when they don’t even engage, they just mill posts endlessly without any thought at all
In some ways it is easier if it comes from one account. Easier to block if you don’t like, and less chance of duplicate posts.
I guess I’m not seeing the issue from having it come from one bot.
Sadly, this person is not one bot. There’s been this whole thing about it, they’re one person operating a large number of automated accounts that they refuse to mark as bots.
On a certain level, I’m probably just being petty that they’re hogging the feed and interaction from other people. But I’d like to pretend it’s actively making user interactions more superficial and attention-driven.
Huh, I wonder if it’s the same person behind mustachius that keeps posting on history memes, it’s the same MO
This one showed up at the exact same time as all the other Moustachious accounts. He seems to want to put one repost bot per community.
The one called “Sanitation” has been around much longer so I won’t personally point the finger there but others have.
if it was just one bot it wouldn’t be as much of an issue, the problem is it’s more than one. I’ve already blocked two eerily similar repost accounts on other comms and I don’t want to keep playing whack-a-mole
If you don’t care what’s the problem with me pointing it out?
Who said i don’t care? I do care.
The Lord’s work
