Hi, I saw this cross-posted content on the Local feed and I came here to block this community.
We shouldn't be doing this. It's essentially just spam, and if a community can't survive on it's on content then it is better of not existing.
Yeah, there was a bad glitch in the bot over the last few hours causing this issue. It should be fixed very soon as I've already done some editing and submitted a pull request with the developer. Feel free to check the community out again in a day or so and all should be well. Sorry for the spamming! As for having the bot here, fro the discussions I've had so far with various people it's at about 65% in favor (assuming no glitches, of course), but if that changes then absolutely it won't be here. And, of course, this is temporary anyway while the dust settles.

Thanks for commenting! For much of the content you've seen in the past few hours, yeah, there was a glitch in the bot. That should be fixed shortly. Feel free to check things out again in a day or so and I think all should be good.
As for having the bot at all, I've been involved in a number of different discussions about such things so far, and opinion seems very divided on if it's a good idea or not. In any case, for this community this is a temporary measure only to bring content here while the dust settles. I'm at about 65% so far on people liking this as opposed to not liking it. If that changes then it'll be gone for sure. That's assuming it's working right and not spamming people's feeds! Sorry about that!!
