I’m curious how the (non-bot!) subscribers to this community feel about the bot posts here.
Personally, I’m not entirely comfortable with posts to pictures that give me no real sense of who created the image or how.
What do the rest of you think? Are there rules we should make explicit?
Assuming the bot is reposting content from the old site, there is no guarantee that the original reddit post was OC either. But attribution to the poster is at least appropriate and should be possible with a bot (if the creators are listening).
At the moment this is a niche community on a niche platform. And beggars can’t be choosers.
Thanks. Fair point about beggars can’t be choosers.
I may add a rule in the description about attributing the original creator. That seems appropriate – and the least we could ask.

Today, I made a modification to the code of this bot to attribute all works. If you have any other suggestions or criticisms, please direct them to my community linked in my profile.

Very kind of you, Mr. Boycott Reddit Bot. Thank you. ;)
I have an extensive write-up about contradictions with fair use that come from repost bots: https://lemmy.world/comment/3979989
It seems the bot that was reposting in your community is no more. Caught them red-handed without waiting.
