You are not the asshole. The purpose of that community is to have communication with humans. When a bot posts a question there, there is no reason to respond. It's not a human asking, and the human that originally asked in another forum will never see the response. I blocked that spammy bot, and have enjoyed my feed way better since.
Same here. The lemmit bot was blocked as soon as I saw it. If people want Reddit content, they need to suck it up and go to Reddit.
I blocked the bot. It's artificial
I hate that bot SO MUCH. It's the only account i have blocked on Lemmy.
No. I see a lot of reposts in here, even with meme templates 13 years old, and I’d rather not see them at all
Yeah, a lot of these posts are like a “best of” from Reddit. If I wanted to see bots repost top posts from reddit, I would have stayed on Reddit.
NTA.
AITA is not about sharting funny content and then asking "am I an asshole or what", it's a way for the OP to invite (hopefully) honest and civilized discussion and criticism about their actions, without risking verbal abuse or being downvoted to hell. When a bot reposts an existing question without the OP's knowledge, it loses the line of communication between OP and the community and the entire point of an AITA post. Populating the fediverse with content is important, but compromising the entire reason that content exists is not the way to build a community.
edit: sharing, not sharting. I'm not changing it because funny.
I would near guarantee that 90% if not more of that subreddit is fake posts for karma farming.

Worried for you if your autocorrect is ready to go with sharts. 😂
I think ITA for being the only one here that dislikes AITA period. That shit subreddit should never have migrated here. It’s just karma farming.
Well there's no karma. It's more genuine here.
