Are you posting it to start conversation here or only linking to reddit? None of these bot posts have and community involvement. I don't have a problem with things exiting in both places, nor do I mind a return of old content. Especially with things being deleted or hidden on reddit. Nostalgia can bring new ideas and conversations as understanding changes over time.
These bots just feel like advertisements for reddit. Look what you can see if you come over here....
Do you mean actual bots or people directly taking from reddit?
Legit bots that just watch reddit communities and then link to the reddit post. If I was looking for the reddit post I would be on reddit.
If you want to support the community by spreading something you found to be fun, that's great. More power to you. Wish I had the time to share what I find enjoyable, but it's just not a priority for me right now.
And even in the case of a bot, I would feel OK if they linked to the original content and the started the thread with a initial comment along the lines of "more conversation happening over on reddit." with a link. I'm not looking for a link chain.
Oh. I believe there's one instance that does that and I think it's been heavily defederated.
The only other bots I know are the ones on ibbit.at that scrape news sites.
My shit is just old memes that I thought might be out of the discourse long enough to be fresh again here. I definitely won't be linking to that shithole
