I don't mind too much when it comes to news, or other articles... Even pictures and memes... Whatever.
The one that confuses the shit out of me is stuff that's supposed to be interactive, like AMA or AITA or something. OP will never see the replies, so..... Why?
Something like the news can have very different discussions depending on who is in the community/subreddit where it was posted, meanwhile, posts asking for help or something... The entire point is to give OP a solution/answer to their inquiry. Why make a bot to bring that question to Lemmy when OP won't be aware it happened, and will have no way to know that responses have been given here? It's dumb.
There's still a lot of things that are being posted both to Reddit and Lemmy, and having that done by a bot instead of a person.... Well, I'm not mad at it. It's coming here one way or another.
