Reddit reposts are terrible because it’s always bots spamming old, popular content in order to build up karma.
You reminded me of the main reason why I didn’t like Reddit reposts (it’s been a while). Just as bad were the other bots that took top comments from the earlier posts and put them in verbatim in the repost.
Damn I had almost forgotten about that. You’d see a top comment that was funny and witty, only for the next comment to point out that it was a bot stealing the comment from the last time the post was made. That place is such a shit hole it’s amazing we put up for it as long as we did.
It’s not like there were plenty of alternatives to choose from.
There always was, people just prefer a perfect solution to be ready before migrating. Lemmy was as empty and lonely as reddit was in the beginning.
There was Voat. What else?
Not like people doing that for upvotes is better.
Please stop reposting stuff less than a month old, guys.
