Obviously a repost

Memes are reposts! That’s their defining characteristic! They become memes by being reposted! If they didn’t get reposted, they would not be memes!

Are there bots on lemmy? I didn’t like the idea of those repost bots on reddit.

Some clients will highlight bots

If you go to lemmy.world on a browser you can hide accounts that have flagged themselves as bots

I have bot accounts hidden because during the Reddit Exodus there was so many bots posting content form reddit to ideally drive engagement and discussion but no one commented so they just felt spammy to me

Hopefully this makes sense I had to stop mid sentence to do something and I’m too tired to proof read

“I have seen this before, therefore no one else needs to.”

That’s my thinking as well. A long time o ago in reddit, people were always claiming things were reposts, but it was new to me.

It’s such a Reddit thing. I’d almost forgotten that there were people whose only contribution to the site culture was to remind people how cool they were because they’d already seen everything.

God I love hexbear.
