I hate it when people just say that a meme is "a repost" and refuse to elaborate (lemmy.ml)

Some clients will highlight bots

If you go to lemmy.world on a browser you can hide accounts that have flagged themselves as bots

I have bot accounts hidden because during the Reddit Exodus there was so many bots posting content form reddit to ideally drive engagement and discussion but no one commented so they just felt spammy to me

Hopefully this makes sense I had to stop mid sentence to do something and I’m too tired to proof read

Repost bots existed to farm karma to sell the accounts for advertising purposes. The bots that mark themselves as such wouldn't repost (other than the reddit-to-lemmy bots you mentioned, but that's not really reposting anyways)
