Specifically the ones that post like bots but are not marked as bots.

The accounts that post into all sorts of comms including many they aren’t a member of. The posts are usually pretty low quality and its clear the operator is not curating anything.

I find them annoying so I block. What do you think about it?

    Yep. I’m not trying to see somebody just showing me the top 50 posts off their reddit feed day after day after day. That shit sure does numbers here though.

    Ever had that reddit friend IRL who’s just always showing you reddit stuff you already saw? That’s who those are. They don’t comment, they don’t post oc, they never mix up their posts, it’s a bot. Straight to the block bin.

    There’s that one guy who keeps making accounts with the same cm00* username but different servers. I wish piefed/blorp could block accounts based on a regex , wildcard, or other filter.

      Beep is another one like that. I don’t block them specifically so I can call out their art theft, because they feed people’s comics to AI to remove the watermark.

      Yes and this operator does not seem to even read the content they repost. After they posted very low quality misleading items a few times, I blocked all of their accounts.

        I’m pretty sure that they specifically repost things posted from .ml accounts. They aren’t looking at the posts or hoping to farm “karma” or whatever, they’re trying to de-populate the instance.

        Can be pretty annoying when all the .ml posts line up with the cm00* posts.

          Yes, the operator is very public about their goals. This doesn’t make it any less annoying and by all measures it is not having the desired effect. I like that I can just block and make it all disappear.
