This bot’s whole purpose is to import crap from Reddit to … here? Why would anyone want that? Somebody did a bunch of work, made an instance and a bot, and they’ve currently got it spamming Lemmy … just to enshitifiy lemmy.

Lemmit.Online bot@lemmit.online

I blocked the bot and the instance, but I have to login in order for that to be effective. If I don’t login, this stuff is all over the main feed.

Am I the only one that thinks this is spam?

…
Edit … Thanks, people. Learned some things.

    Not blocked, but my instance is fully de-federated from lemmit.online.

    And yes, I consider all the re-post instances/bots to be spam.

      Somebody else pointed out, maybe my instance just federated with them. This seems a likely cause for the sudden change in my feed.
