The only reason I don’t block is to downvote them. If OP jumped into the conversation to say “it’s a repost from [other website] but I really wanted to share!” I’d have a lot more respect for it.
I think it’s more like a script than a bot. Like they have a toolbar button that says send to Lemmy, and are treating it like a grandma treats Facebook.
Wait, you built this? Can the turtles roam between paddocks freely?
I doubt it. This seems to be a reddit repost bot. A reverse image search of the first image gives a lot of Facebook links, and this reddit post.
Yah thats what I figured looking at the post history, thats why i lead with the low effort comment lol
okay, I’m blocking this account. this is getting annoying finding cool posts and near zero chance of comments from OP.
other than others commenting this is a bot, or script using user etc.

It’s puzzling what they would want by creating a bot and posting random shit like this. For likes??
I understand the base motivation. Take what’s interesting from reddit and bring it here for discussion or sharing.
I’d do that manually and organically, and add by thoughts to it a post though.
edit: just noticed the derp at the start and corrected
Yes exactly. There’s no need for this. It’s not Reddit ere.
