If anything, shouldn’t it be encouraged, and even automated? I’m including even the ‘old’ stuff from reddit here. Reddit shouldn’t be the absolute owner of the content submitted by users. When I migrated here, it wasn’t because of me being against reddit users, but being against reddit the company. Copying the content here actually hurts the company in sense that they don’t get to then gatekeep the crowdsourced content.
I’m fine with bots reposting images. Memes and whatever. Because the discussion is pretty irrelevant. What I’ve been seeing a lot of is bots reposting text posts. Like r/amitheasshole and the like. It pisses me off. Doesn’t make any goddamn sense, the OP isn’t here, you can’t discuss with them. And they always lack any conversation on here. It’s just spam and I report it as such.
