    Really wish this bot provided proper source and not just a link back to Reddit.

      I’m not a bot - I’m doing this manually to preserve my favorites and to add to the content here on Lemmy. I’m linking back to where I originally found them on Reddit as a courtesy, which I only started doing in the first place because people were complaining that just quoting the original titles was impersonation. People continued to complain about that, so I started putting any titles with first person reference in quotes.

      If the word “source” is bothering you, I can change it to something like “Reddit post where I originally found the content”, but this is already a lot of work, and I’m definitely not going to track down the original source of all of these posts.

      Either way, y’all sure complain a lot for people getting free porn.

        A lot of people here left Reddit and plan on never giving them page views again. The names are almost always in the Reddit post you link to. If you’re posting manually anyways it wouldn’t be hard to actually look and save everyone else from visiting there. Personally, I’d rather Lemmy not become just a reddit repost site.
