Hi all,
What’s your opinion on the repost bot in the AITA community? From my perspective, it provides little to no value to cross post such content from another website.
First of all, AITA lives off the comments and if there aren’t any, it’s not really entertaining to read the posts.
Second, if someone hypothetically replied here, it would never reach the OP on reddit, so it’s not meaningful to make the effort.
And last but not least, if there are sometimes dozens of reposts per hour here, it drowns any interesting original content on Lemmy.
So overall I guess it brings more harm than good.
PS: Originally I planned to post this in the AITA community directly but ironically it’s locked down to “mods only”. So there’s not even a chance to have there any original content.
Regards, rbn
In a word, asinine.
Who thought this would be a good idea? I also find the tendency of making shoddy subReddit replicas is bankrupt and devoid of imagination. It’s like when the British pilgrims voyaged for weeks across the Atlantic into uncharted territory, only to found their new towns with the same fucking name as the place they just left.
I mostly agree with you, but Reddit has such unique and niche ideas that it’s kinda hard not to use them.
