So, I get that someone is trying to populate this community with posts using the lemmit.online bot. And that the vast majority of us are coming from Reddit. And that AITA is a staple community that we’re used to seeing in our feeds.

However, it seems like that just copying content into an otherwise empty community is just feeding a sterile wasteland. There is almost no engagement on the copied posts, and worse: I think it will smother any actual new content that gets posted in this wasteland of copied content. (I stand corrected, after trying to post this there I found out that only mods have priveleges to post. It’s worse than I thought, and I’ll probably just block it from my feed if it’s only a Reddit echo chamber)

What do you think, AITA?

    I remember scrolling through the older posts in that sub and there was good content once. Actual moral dilemma, stuff you could talk and discuss about. But then the sub grew and got flooded by AITA FOR NOT WANTING TO EAT BABIES ALIVE?!?!? (upvotes on the left)
