I don't like it. There's no one on the other end, the reason I'm here.

It feels unnatural to me. We don't need to force interaction when we're all here to do it.

Plus I'm still mostly sorting by new. They clog it up.

Edit: it's impossible to sort by new now, because of all those damned lemmit posts!!!

Go Lemmiwinks! Stop Wikileaks! Sorry guys, I don’t know why this reminded me of that South Park episode… I don’t like those reposts either… ppl should focus on new original content.

I definitely heard that in my head before I even opened this lol

I think I have successfully plugged the reddileaks!

I know fr. I'm a 'content creator' but not memes or anything. I suck at those.

I'm writing a whole ass life story for no one to read, so yea were working for sure lol!

Is lemmit a bot instance or something?

[–] MiddleWeigh 7 points 1 year ago

It's a reddit repost bot. I think it may be a whole instance, with one repost bot, I'm not really sure.
