The tweet itself is from June of 2022. I know from my bot-hunting at the time that it was posted to Reddit within days of being tweeted, and that there were bots reposting it prior to the API changes less than a year ago. If you were browsing Reddit (or Twitter) at the time, then you may have seen it then.

I wouldn’t have minded seeing it shared here if there was not already a pattern of posts being copy+pasted from the top of the Lego subreddit for a given day. If the Lemmy OP had posted this two days ago or if they had posted it a month from today, I wouldn’t have associated the post with the Reddit post from yesterday. It’s that the content is being “farmed” in a way which bothers me. The case of this Lemmy post is made worse by the sourced Reddit post being made by a repost bot, which is exactly what I wanted to escape from by leaving Reddit.
