    Reddit reposts are terrible because it’s always bots spamming old, popular content in order to build up karma.

      You reminded me of the main reason why I didn’t like Reddit reposts (it’s been a while). Just as bad were the other bots that took top comments from the earlier posts and put them in verbatim in the repost.

      Not like people doing that for upvotes is better.

      Please stop reposting stuff less than a month old, guys.

    100% true. 0% regrets.

    I also react differently to simple things like hugs, drawings, or snacks delivered via faceless corporation versus a child I love.

      Not since July this year. I do remember looking at reposts with disdain when I was there, though.

    A classic is a classic for a reason, but at the same time, if it is not the platform, I can’t call it a repost.

    Perfect for Karma Farming and I don’t mind.

    I’m going to screenshot this and repost this on Lemmy, doing my part to keep their content flowing, and doing my part to reduce pixels with every repost.

    Oh wait. I’m clearly confused. I thought I was on Reddit. This is Lemmy. I’ve been double dipping the last couple days.
