I think this bot should stop crossposting stuff from Reddit until the community here picks up. This is only adding unnecessary clutter to the community and even if one post gets replies, it’s going to get drowned out by these automatic bot posts.
Agreed. It’s really killing any engagement in a place that needs it for the content found here.
Or schedule the Reddit posts once or twice per day- highlights.
With the current activity, I would say once a week is more like it.
I don’t like the botted posts for the sake of botting. Manual cross posting legitimate content is much more engaging.
It’s not a proper solution, but I just blocked the bot’s profile, so I can only see posts from real people (or at least from profiles that aren’t that bot).
I guess if enough people did the same we’d more or less have a PSB community as it was, albeit somewhat quieter for now.
EDIT - also, maybe those of us here now could make it our weekly task to find and post an image for others to try. If we do it enough we’ll start to drown out the bot, and maybe make it unnecessary. I just posted a donkey if anyone fancies a go at it.
(None of this is meant as shade on the person who made the bot by the way) 🙂
