Legit bots that just watch reddit communities and then link to the reddit post. If I was looking for the reddit post I would be on reddit.
If you want to support the community by spreading something you found to be fun, that’s great. More power to you. Wish I had the time to share what I find enjoyable, but it’s just not a priority for me right now.
And even in the case of a bot, I would feel OK if they linked to the original content and the started the thread with a initial comment along the lines of “more conversation happening over on reddit.” with a link. I’m not looking for a link chain.
Do you mean actual bots or people directly taking from reddit?

Oh. I believe there’s one instance that does that and I think it’s been heavily defederated.
The only other bots I know are the ones on ibbit.at that scrape news sites.
