Downvoting every "archive" repost from Reddit...

I left for a reason. Let's stop giving mini-elon money.

Vain and counter-productive

We need content
- Yup. There are definitely bad ways to go about scraping reddit posts. But if it’s done properly, there’s no reason to be upset about it. We get the content without needing to actually visit the site, and we also get the (generally much more friendly) comment sections.
- Yeah I agree. Don’t look at my profile
  
  Cool cave bro
- We have plenty without that. I've blocked every single repost bot I've seen, also any actual person who reports from reddit. And I still have plenty of content.
  
  How edgy and cool of you
It's especially annoying when the archive post doesn't actually contain the post but just LINKS TO THE FUCKING POST. How is that a fucking archive !?
It's not kind to speak of the dead, or so I'm told.
You don't actually downvote anything on reddit, only here on Lemmy, lol :D. Those are just reposts of stuff already on reddit, but nothing done here actually reflects anything on reddit.
- I think the idea is that he doesn't want reposts from reddit filling up his feed. He isn't trying to affect reddit itself.
  
  Let's stop giving mini-elon money.
  
  How are we giving spez money if we don't actually visit reddit... or upvote/downvote posts on reddit.
Agreed, but I can settle with one person, a designated champion, to brave the dark waters and bring us our daily allotment of ~~Tales from the Crypt~~ Bestof, prorevenge, and BestofRedditorUpdates. It keeps me from ever going there.

I mean...I don't mean to go back...but my hands get twitchy. I look away for a minute, and muscle memory kicks in....and by the time I look back down....it's there.....it's Reddit.

Omg, we need to start a Redditors Anonymous for lemmy.
- I just replaced all links to reddit to links to lemmy so my muscle memory always brings me here.
  
  Also got rid of the old.reddit redirect extension I had, so now if I come across reddit while googling, I don't even recognise the place.
- I copied a bunch of BORU posts over while I still had Apollo to get the sub started. I can’t bear the reddit app though so my work here is done.
- Yes but not a bot! I will not reply to a bot.
I don’t care, I left that site for a reason
I will call him… raises pinky to cheek Mini Musk.
🫡 the lords work
Not sure if I should up vote or down vote
