Honestly, at this point, I’m not sure what you hope to achieve by these responses. Their account is marked as a bot, and for anyone who doesn’t want to see the reposts, the block button is just a click away. I, and I’m sure many others, don’t habitually go to reddit, so this is “new” content to us.
Obviously I’d much prefer if they added even a modicum of original thought to their posts, but the constant campaign of posting screen shots is equally wearing. I’ve seen your argument elsewhere that they’re ‘monopolising’ communities, but even if that were a meaningful metric, this isn’t the way to deal with it. Downvote them, certainly, but more people posting more content is the natural antidote. It doesn’t really matter that someone is reposting from elsewhere when there’s other content appearing too, and if there isn’t that other new content, even reposted content helps drive engagement in the community. Ultimately, if the mods of the community don’t want them posting, they can just block them from doing so, so it may be worth contacting them to register your dislike of this sort of content.
I don’t think I’ve upvoted any of their posts, but there’s been some reasonable discussions under some of them. Would you be happier if they’d found the image somewhere else? I mean, all original content would be nice, but realistically most of it is going to come from somewhere else. I think what’s bothering me is that I only see you doing this under this one user, when there are multiple other users who also habitually repost, and it seems to have become something of a monomania. My apologies if I’ve missed some more widespread comments.
I won’t block you because, apart from this, I generally don’t mind your posts, and I remember that you used to post more positively and even humourously. I hope that we see more of that, the fediverse needs more positivity. Besides, your username makes me laugh every time I see it.

If you enjoy mindlessly upvoting content that a bot copied from reddit you could block me and upvote all content you want.
