I keep seeing communities which seem to consist of nothing but a bot that reposts stuff from Reddit.

What’s the point? Really? I ain’t posting a comment about a funny thing there. No one seems to post about the the second-hand funny thing here.

Can we please just sever ties with that shithole altogether?

Although the rss feed feature is broken so there's been no posts for a few days, [email protected] is one I used to track PC part sales. It was mirroring from Reddit, but just one easily blocked user from anyone not interested. We don't have enough people frequenting RedFlagDeals and if we rely on individuals posting deals it will be way too late. That community saved me from needing to check Reddit at all.
