People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

I wouldn't say that most things are bots. People often just repost things without looking at the place they post, or what the rules of that place are.

I guess it's to be expected when most content on platforms these days is not entirely new and original but stripped from other places. It is interesting to see reposts on here, though, given that Lemmy's population is so small. Then again, there's likely lots of overlap in people's interests here, considering that Lemmy isn't as mass-centered as other contemporary social media platforms.
