I’ve noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?

I assume they mean good by ‘generating’ content in communities, but I don’t see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.

I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I’d just prefer to block them all so I don’t see their content at all.

They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?

    I’m not adverse to Reddit because I don’t believe Lemmy is a complete replacement yet. Let’s be honest, Lemmy is mostly programming, Linux, hate against Windows, hate against cars, and hate against paying for services. For me, Lemmy cannot replace Reddit until a variety of people come.

    I use Lemmy and Reddit to see a discussion around a topic. I might as well just use an RSS feed if I want to read news topics instead of bare Reddit copy paste submissions.

    I’m still using a third party for Reddit - I never stopped using it and it continued to work.

      I’m doing pretty similar. I now only go to Reddit as a logged out lurker for the path of exile subs. Too much info is dropped there that I just don’t see anywhere else.
