  • 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

  • Also, we have multiple subs. Revealing one temporarily does not compromise our deterrence

    I think what the person you’re replying to meant was something like:

    “These subs are known to exist by Russia, and their particular sound signatures may NOT be known to Russia. So, having one appear in a known location, Russia may now be able to link sounds previously unknown to them to this type of sound. With this new information, Russia may now be able to locate these types of subs, when that was previously not possible.”

    I’m not sure if they’re right about this or not, so the issue may be moot if Russia already had this information. I do, based on my military experience, generally tend to agree about the OPSEC component of their statement though.
