I've seen it argued, specifically against Reddit reposts (bot or not), that becsuse this isn't Reddit, the original poster won't get the answers/insight. But I don't see why that matters. We can have a discussion here based on a topic started there independant of the original conversation. And maybe the person (when it's an actual person) reposting it simply has the same idea/question.
Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.
To add to that, no one WANTS to engage with automated bot content. The entire point of social media is to be... social.

A repost is different. If you read something on Reddit (or anywhere) and you want to talk about it, posting it here is fine.
But if you're just taking every post and posting it here, you probably don't actually care about all of them.
