Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

We ACCEPT (for now) reposts of good malicious compliance stories (from other platforms) which did not happen to you or someone you knew. Please use a [REPOST] tag in such situations.

Dead internet theory?

I wouldn't say that most things are bots. People often just repost things without looking at the place they post, or what the rules of that place are.

I guess it's to be expected when most content on platforms these days is not entirely new and original but stripped from other places. It is interesting to see reposts on here, though, given that Lemmy's population is so small. Then again, there's likely lots of overlap in people's interests here, considering that Lemmy isn't as mass-centered as other contemporary social media platforms.
