I assume they mean good by 'generating' content in communities, but I don't see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.

I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I'd just prefer to block them all so I don't see their content at all.

They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?

I might as well just use an RSS feed if I want to read news topics instead of bare Reddit copy paste submissions.

So the bots that create a complete mirror of subs (posts and comments) are ok, I hope.

The part you quoted. What I meant is that I might as well just subscribe to the news source using an RSS feed and cut out the middle men (Reddit and Lemmy).

Reddit/Lemmy is more than a link aggregator. 90% of its value is in the self-posts, and there is no RSS feeds for them.

I think you misunderstood what I've said.
