@[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.
- Defederate from Lemmit.Online
- Ban @[email protected] from lemmy.ca
- leave it up to users to block @[email protected]

I’m using jerboa on Android. It has a check box in settings to allow/disallow bots in the feed. I haven’t seen this mentioned bot, so I suppose it works.
But, if the bot is drowning out the feed for others it may be nice to block it at server level.
