I take it back, I saw them say Reddit agent lmao

I don’t t know if I had seen them comment before

Follow-up thought: are they the same as the account posting “space news”? Equally dull content bot that usually doesn’t link sources

Wish they’d get IP banned. The second account exists to circumvent the community bans of the first

They definitely are, I just don’t think oldmanalex is one of them. I could be wrong! I think all repost bots should get banned regardless

Probably my least favorite Lemmy user of all time. He truly believes he’s not making this place worse.

Time2lose is almost definitely u/sanitation after he got torn apart in his “everyone who doesn’t like my repost bot is wrong” post. They’re using the same software that trunctates post titles. They’re both clearly Russian and have made some anti-ukraine comments.

And not to get all conspiratorial but it is a biiit suspicious that a Russian bot is spamming tabloids to the US news communities when we’re approaching an important election. At the very least, it’s annoying as fuck.

I don’t think the user you’re talking about in the top post is the same, though. Different posting styles, totally different content. I also don’t think it’s the same person as the (thankfully dead) SteamAndEpic account, either, though that one was also Russian. Just a lazy spammer this time.

Wholly agreed with your conclusion, though.

He’s like 14 or at least has the brain of one. I hate the sexist shit he always posts. Let’s keep 4chan shit like that on 4chan

The original has been posted before and the irony of criticizing stolen work using a stolen post is just too much for me, sorry.

Text as an image is my mildlyinfuriating. Just post the damn text.

That’s worse than I thought, thanks for the breakdown lol

Maybe the dev is an OSU player…

I don’t plan on trying it (Wayland is fine with me) but what do you mean about the keyboard shortcuts?

I feel like everyone is missing the point of this community.

Post the lid of your yogurt tearing down the middle. Construction in front of an entrance. Key snapped off in the lock. Everyday happenings, not the horrors of the political world.

I sure hope no one is just “mildly” infuriated by this. These political posts are just bait a we have enough political communities already.

Nobody gives a shit how you think this place should be. Who are you? Some random person who showed up 3 months ago and started spamming and shitting all over it.

You’ve been told that’s not how we do things here countless times yet you keep it up. And worse, you have the gall to complain that a small instance can’t keep up with the amount of garbage you’re botting over here.

Based on that complaint alone, I don’t think you even understand how the fediverse works to begin with so maybe don’t have such an ego about your opinion of what it needs.

Take the hint, man. Pay up or shut up.

And why does that have to be here on one of the existing servers you don’t manage or pay for?

I don’t know, I kind of like threaded discussions. Back in the forum days, it was hard to deal with two concurrent conversations.

I wasn’t a fan of it on Reddit but I have less of an opinion here because it doesn’t seem to significant impact on discoverability.

I feel like he’s upvoting from an alt account, too. Pretty interesting how his posts and comments seem to start at +2 now… Almost the same time as that “new” bot real human who reposts from reddit with truncated titles…

Why do we need it to affect reality?

What’s it to you? Be one of those people. Make your own social media site if you think your ideas are so good. I’m sure you’ll hit whatever MAU you set your mind to.

You’ve formed your opinion on what makes a good website based on capitalism’s definition of success. Like the other commenter said, you want Lemmy to be a cancer.

“This site that people are already happy with isn’t exactly how I like it so therefore it must change for me”

Ok man

Lmao OP finds an advertisement interesting

Must work for Dodge
