Beyond ridiculous.

    Yeah … all repost bots of every kind are insta-blocks for me. And pretty much the only user-level blocks I have.

    Huh, I kinda appreciate some of the repost bots.

    Obv, I think they should be clearly labeled as such with their purpose and that they should stick to a specific instance / dedicated community (thus making it easier to filter out their content if you don’t want it)

    But if they’re doing all that, I don’t think I see what the issue is? Can someone explain their grievance on the matter?

      We left reddit for a variety of reasons, but one of them for me was not liking the bots that just repost old content again and again (including other bots that copy/post top comments from the last time it was posted).

      Yes it’s possible to filter/block if it’s contained to one instance or community, but mirroring all that is such a waste of resources.
