Full title: I hid a link on my website that only bots can see and told them not to follow it. They broke the rules and in 4 days they went 124,414 levels deep into an endless maze. One bot opened 782,580 doors. I thought this was super interesting, this is how the internet is these days. Thought I’d share.
They do not. Just the links. I think if it were to copy the comments it would be harmful to the community as you’d essentially be looking at a one-sided conversation. People could reply but you’d never get an answer back. I mean, if the source is linked in the description you could always just visit the original and read through them.
I’d guess that would depend on whether the link was one-way or two-way (with a bot posting fedi comments back to Reddit).
And yes, a one-way bridge would have its drawbacks, but I’d argue that this would still be a step up from just reposting the post, and incentivise making a Lemmy/Piefed account.
