@[email protected] has been subject to multiple reports from our users over the last while.

We would like the users’ input on how to deal with it. It is the opinion of the administrators that @[email protected], and @lemmit.online doesn’t add anything positive and constitutes spam. We especially want to make sure we get feedback as we are more likely to be sensitive to bots like this and other forms of spam compared to most users as we’ll often scroll through “All” sorted by new.

Here are the options.

Please vote by up voting on one of the comments below. Downvotes will be ignored. Additional comments and discussion is more than welcome. Results of this discussion will provide us guidance on how to deal with other bots in the future as well.

    Using the All+New sorting is practically useless because of 🫘 and equivalent noise whether this bot is alive or dead. From what I’ve seen New is only useful when combined with Subscribed or Local. On the basis of that I wouldn’t take any action since people who might want to read this stuff won’t be able to, and we’ll not see a dramatic improvement to All+New.

    Now that I know it exists, I might subscribe to several Canadian communities on lemmit to keep track of stuff that’s not reflected here yet. Will probably repost what’s interesting to our communities.
