      That’s my thinking as well. A long time o ago in reddit, people were always claiming things were reposts, but it was new to me.

        It would be nice if there would be attribution for reposts. Maybe subreddits and such could do weekly / monthly / annual / all-time highlights? Feel like I need to say that I hate FB and deleted mine, BUT the “memories” thing could be interesting in a place like Reddit or Lemmy.

          What if I saw it elsewhere and posted it? I wouldn’t know it was a repost. And I expect that is what is mostly happening.

            It actually doesn’t really bother me, especially with memes and random internet content like that. I’ve seen posts on Reddit that were actual art, where the title of the repost implies the poster created the art and that it’s not a repost. It’s lame for a few reasons, such as commenters trying to engage with the alleged creator and the OP not replying, then people finding out it’s a repost, etc. But, honestly, whatever.

    Not that I’m defending the behavior, but what more elaboration is needed? They’ve seen it before, that’s all they’re saying

    Memes are reposts! That’s their defining characteristic! They become memes by being reposted! If they didn’t get reposted, they would not be memes!

    imagine someone being so self centered that they think everyone has seen every meme theyve seen.

    It’s such a Reddit thing. I’d almost forgotten that there were people whose only contribution to the site culture was to remind people how cool they were because they’d already seen everything.

    God I love hexbear.

    Wow, awesome, like we haven’t already seen this post 15 times in the last 2 weeks. Nice low effort repost, “OP”!

      Some clients will highlight bots

      If you go to lemmy.world on a browser you can hide accounts that have flagged themselves as bots

      I have bot accounts hidden because during the Reddit Exodus there was so many bots posting content form reddit to ideally drive engagement and discussion but no one commented so they just felt spammy to me

      Hopefully this makes sense I had to stop mid sentence to do something and I’m too tired to proof read

        Repost bots existed to farm karma to sell the accounts for advertising purposes. The bots that mark themselves as such wouldn’t repost (other than the reddit-to-lemmy bots you mentioned, but that’s not really reposting anyways)

    Ah, yes. The Repost Police. A group of individuals out to inform everyone that they’re proud of spending far too much time on socials, even though no one cares to know.
