You just end up creating an desolate community full of noise, since the op will never see the replies.
It hurts lemmy users who don’t realize this and wonder why there’s no engagement.
For example: https://lemmy.ml/comment/17284093
Blindly copying posts from reddit is not the way to grow a healthy lemmy community.
Just adding my 2¢, it’s frowned upon not to toggle the bot flag on a bot account on the fediverse.
At least those who don’t want to see bots can choose to do so, and it makes it more obvious that there’s nobody behind the keyboard.
I did actually toggle the bot flag shortly after it started posting. I’m not sure why it’s not showing for anyone.
Hmm, try toggling it on and off? Maybe it’ll federate?
Yeah could do that. It’s been showing for my account the entire time since enabling it.
Touché. Can remove!
Thanks for listening =)
I’ve blocked that bot for all the reasons you’ve listed. Just creates empty posts.
