This bot’s whole purpose is to import crap from Reddit to … here? Why would anyone want that? Somebody did a bunch of work, made an instance and a bot, and they’ve currently got it spamming Lemmy … just to enshitifiy lemmy.

I blocked the bot and the instance, but I have to login in order for that to be effective. If I don’t login, this stuff is all over the main feed.
Am I the only one that thinks this is spam?

Edit … Thanks, people. Learned some things.
It is pretty spamming, sadly it’s one of the ways people see people possibly moving to platforms like Lemmy (and the rest of the Fediverse) when the platforms like Reddit become more enshitified, there’s got to be a better way than a bot that spams out.
I could at least say it’s a bit more okay if it was on muted or something by default but still then it’s pretty bad. I want to interact with actual people.
I’m still kinda new here. I’m guessing if enough instances admins hate it and defederate Lemmit.Online, they might stop?
I haven’t seen much lemmy drama yet. (Well, other than lemvotes, that was dramatic.) I don’t know how these things sort out.
