Lists like this should be pinned somewhere IMO. Blocking all bots to hide the output from indiscriminate repost automators is a bit of sledgehammer to crack a nut.

There's a button in settings to not show bot accounts. I clicked it when I realized how many posts were just reddit mirror bots
Thanks for putting this together. Now we just need something to automatically update the Blocklist from that gist when it's updated :D
Are these good bots or bad ones to keep an eye on?
These bots collect content from platforms such as Reddit, Hacker News and share it here. It depends on whether you want it or not.
