TIL there are even more shitty bots linking to reddit on here than I’d realized.

Serious question, because I get a similar "TIL" on my mastodon thread and saw this and had a similar thought - would you prefer to see no "TIL" content posted by bots? I don't have any stake, but they do provide 3 benefits that I personally enjoy, as much as I'd prefer it was "organically" generated content:

Some posts are insightful, others I can just ignore/move on.
It provides a way to interact with the broader "fediverse" community about certain topics.
Helps avoid visiting sites like Reddit by virtue of having less content here and looking elsewhere.

More on topic - here's a pic of the couple, for anyone interested:

my issue is that it just has multiple links to reddit. It’s not the TIL or the bots for me, it’s the attempting to steer people back to reddit.

If it was the same TIL (eg the son and daughter) but just posted without the link to reddit, link to reddit comments, etc. I think it’s t would be great. Or even just migrate the subs to lemmy. The tools exist.

p.s. Thanks for sharing the pic.
