Hi all,
What’s your opinion on the repost bot in the AITA community? From my perspective, it provides little to no value to cross post such content from another website.
First of all, AITA lives off the comments and if there aren’t any, it’s not really entertaining to read the posts.
Second, if someone hypothetically replied here, it would never reach the OP on reddit, so it’s not meaningful to make the effort.
And last but not least, if there are sometimes dozens of reposts per hour here, it drowns any interesting original content on Lemmy.
So overall I guess it brings more harm than good.
PS: Originally I planned to post this in the AITA community directly but ironically it’s locked down to “mods only”. So there’s not even a chance to have there any original content.

I accept everything you say, but I am still subscribed to it and read it a lot, even gasp following the Reddit link to the replies. Someone help me please with my addiction.
It’s all fake.
There. Hopeful that fixed it for you.
I’m afraid that does not help, fiction or non-fiction, it is all the same to me. It is amusing to try and spot the clear fakes, and to second guess the responses - will it be NTA or YTA?
I probably need to go cold turkey.
YTA
He spend so much time trying to help you out of your addiction and you’re just disregarding all his efforts as not helpful.
Guilty! But you are posting in the wrong community.
I lack the willpower to block the bot. Someone please save me from myself.
It doesn’t matter that the AITA questions are fake. The responses are a fascinating insight into the minds of… people that frequent /r/AITA.
