I would say right after reddit. So many reposts on Lemmy from reddit.

Remove em and it becomes better.
Also 4chan shouldn't act like it's all original either. Nowadays they to a large degree copy from Twitter and Reddit.
The meme is also outdated and it shows. Tumblr became its own ecosystem in the last few years thanks to Elons dumb antics on Twitter.
9gag also directly steals from reddit. They run scraping bots specifically to steal popular reddit posts.
51 0 ReplyI have seen mention of removing bots. Is there a way to do it for all repost bots? Our only blocking one at a time? Thanks!
7 0 ReplyThere is a method to turn off all posts from accounts with the bot flag.
In your user settings:
Uncheck the Show Bot Accounts box, and press Save.

I saw my first shill bot on lemmy today (1 day old account posting a gif of a product and then responding to "cool where can I get one" with a purchase link). They deleted the post when I called them out

There's still so many screenshots of Twitter. And I saw a couple of 9gag watermarks.
