Lemmy, AITA for disliking copied content from Reddit in the AmITheAsshole community?
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?
A bit off-topic, but AITA is a community I don't mind if it stays on Reddit.
It's either fake stories, people looking for approval, people who don't mind their own lives, or arm-chair psychologists taking guesses.
Yeah I would not miss AITA.
Ugh you're right. I admit I've scrolled through AITA more often than I should, because something about it is really entertaining.
But it's like junk food, I don't really feel good when I'm done with it. More vindictive, like those revenge subs. Being off Reddit has reduced how much I see it, and I don't particularly want to go back to that.

TONS of rage bait, but people ate it up. 🤦♀️
