Hahahah! *«strAdditional_CommentDFF4»*
It's odd how often I <java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException> myself as well.
Sure, I have an image like that: 
The reposts are more atrocious here because lemmy can't think of new stuff and resort to classics and to death reposted memes
Or bots that just repost reddit content... or users who repost reddit content.
Damn reddit, they ruined reddit.

I was a bot hunter on reddit and was asked to mod /r/kittengifs because of my ability to find them. There were like 5 legitimate posts in 6 months
Do you mind share tips to know how to spot them?
This right here is a bot comment. Everyone take notes.
How do you track down the sheer number of them so efficiently? You could obviously dig through each one's profile, but that wouldn't work for hundreds or thousands.
Lol. There is no way to do it efficiently. I did it in the way you described every time, and I reported literal thousands to reddit's admins (and never got a single response) and was banned by multiple subreddits because I was "annoying" when I reported bots to sub mods. I also called bots out in comments and provided evidence when I did. Nobody cared.
When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I rolled out. I didn't realize how bad reddit had become and how much I hated the site. I'm much happier here with less content and without a bot infestation. Additionally, I'm sure users, mods, and admins WOULD care if I reported that sort of thing on Lemmy
Oh man, I used to see you around constantly. I believe you posted about your methods at one point and I started following them. Hunted down quite a few bots as well!
For the subs I modded, my main strategy was to just ban any NameName or NameName## accounts that could post, and remove any comments from them that were super short or contained a link. That cut down on a ton of those assholes.
I actually got to talk in person with one of the admins at Reddit in charge of spam prevention. I basically gave the bastard a lecture in all the ways the spammers were spamming and scamming. Got told they'd follow up with me soon for more. Never got that follow up and I gave up caring once the API changes went through. I actually deleted all my anti bot code from the subs, but they're still all private anyways

I am not a bot
That is what a bot would say
I am a bot, and this action was peformed automatically.
Was anybody under the impression that it wasn't just account harvesting? It's been that way for years. All of the default subs have been that way for a long time. The biggest clue is when you see the same post on multiple different subs at the same time. Just have your bot swarm upvote posts so that they take off under hot and you're good.
So I know my wife still uses Reddit, if the dead internet theory is to be believed either she's a bot or I'm a bot...
Can someone help me click this box?
Why are you still using reddit
Many niche subreddits, my country specific subreddit. I browse reddit along with lemmy but post only on lemmy.
This is the way
Yeah, although I find that even some if the subreddits for shows that are not discussed on reddit are pure trash, The Boys comes to mind since they got really explicit and conservatives realized the show is making fun of them, the discussions around episodes are just trash

That’s kinda astonishing. I mean, I knew there were a lot of bots, but that many? That’s crazy. How did they filter for bots?

"A few year away"
Lol, have you tried searching for a "how to" article in the past five years?
... I am somehow completely missing two days worth of memories, completely blank.
I hope it's not related.
I misread that as Lemmy community for the same. Hopefully we are still got a lot of time before it hits us.
When did this happen?
Amazing. I almost want to tell them to come over here but then I'd have to use reddit.
Are bean memes wholesome?
Only if they're whole beans. Split beans don't count.

I had blocked that subreddit after few posts from there popped up in /r/all.
It was a hugbox of toxic positivity.
