Don’t hate on the summary bot. It’s actually useful and a hell of a lot better than clicking through to the site.
Also, it’s an article from the BBC, not Reddit?

It’s not that hard to make a post with the exact same title as the article. Just because it has the same title, does not mean it’s from Reddit. It’s directly linked to the BBC.
Is there a mention of a cross-post somewhere? Is that bot copying all submissions from /r/technology directly? That is possible.

Lemmy doesn’t natively track karma unless they’re doing their own tracking, but even then, nobody else is seeing it unless their client does it.
So basically, karma farming isn’t nearly as important on Lemmy.
News aggregation bots are not quite in that same category.
I hate bots that repost from the same community, comment reposting bots or other bots that are designed specifically for karma farming. From that perspective, yes. I am right there with you.
However, bots that perform an actual function are useful. It’s why bots are allowed to begin with, actually.
The post is a half hour old ffs
Ah, classic Redditors complaining about anything and everything they can.
