  • the fact that admins and mods didn’t care makes me understand why they felt the need to point it out in the comments

    That is EXACTLY why I did it. I thought that if I could get more users to report those accounts, and if they did, the mods and admins would do something about it.

    Not coincidentally, /r/wholesomememes was the worst of all the subs. The overwhelming majority of obvious organized bot rings were operating there. The mods told me they knew and didn’t care because it was an opportunity for users to see content they hadn’t seen before (completely missing the point)

    Lol. There is no way to do it efficiently. I did it in the way you described every time, and I reported literal thousands to reddit’s admins (and never got a single response) and was banned by multiple subreddits because I was “annoying” when I reported bots to sub mods. I also called bots out in comments and provided evidence when I did. Nobody cared.

    When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I rolled out. I didn’t realize how bad reddit had become and how much I hated the site. I’m much happier here with less content and without a bot infestation. Additionally, I’m sure users, mods, and admins WOULD care if I reported that sort of thing on Lemmy

    Yeah, I think this was a poor attempt/forcing a joke.

    I think they’re trying to use the words rake and hoe as synonyms (which they are; they can both mean “promiscuous woman”) but flubbed the execution.

    I see the intent here, but I don’t think the image macro works for that joke. I have tried to make it work a few different ways, but I’m not coming up with anything that works well.

    Famously, there is a Jeopardy! answer/question that highlighted the synonym which should be easily searchable with “rake hoe jeopardy”
