I was commenting on a Japanese sub to guide them to Lemmy and my comment becomes “[ Removed by Reddit ]” after a few seconds. Was this always the case?

    I’m convinced that the vast majority of r/askreddit threads, including the comments, have been copy/pasted for years

    I’ve seen threads that are the same replies in the same order as they were in previous years. I know a lot of this is just people posting what they know will get them comment karma, but I have a hard time believing that sub is for real. It’s such low quality, predictable content

      Bots that repost comments definitely are a thing on Reddit, there evenwads a counter-bot (/u/replyguyboy) that exposed them.

        I remember that. There were some people really dedicated to exposing bots, and almost every thread in r/all had some harmful bots
