NTA.
AITA is not about sharting funny content and then asking "am I an asshole or what", it's a way for the OP to invite (hopefully) honest and civilized discussion and criticism about their actions, without risking verbal abuse or being downvoted to hell. When a bot reposts an existing question without the OP's knowledge, it loses the line of communication between OP and the community and the entire point of an AITA post. Populating the fediverse with content is important, but compromising the entire reason that content exists is not the way to build a community.
edit: sharing, not sharting. I'm not changing it because funny.
I tried to fart and a little shit came out.
Worried for you if your autocorrect is ready to go with sharts. 😂
Yep if you're sharting instead of sharing them YTA. ;)
Tbh “sharting” is pretty apt for what a bot reposting AITA posts is doing lol.
I would near guarantee that 90% if not more of that subreddit is fake posts for karma farming.
