Was just making an observation of the shift, since it was interesting. But, yeah it does seem like a filter to add like ones for enough__spam or communities with Twitter in their name. I do block those. Already block the reddit repost bot and instance like lemmit. But ironic to me that one of the communities that was about trying to stop use of reddit now may be a reddit agregator providing direct reddit links now to provide traffic.
The irony isn’t lost on me, I’m just not surprised.
There are many communities that still only exist on Reddit, so inevitably someone will have to read Reddit to view those community’s content - thus the aggregators.
What I am surprised about is how quickly we started to get bot problems, but where there’s a demand for content, you’ll get bots I suppose. At least for now there’s fewer of them than on Reddit, which is nice.
