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?
You must log in or # to comment.
No, mainly because who else is really posting?

They’re probably not bots mostly, just people who choose to scroll the “All” feed instead of maintain a “Subscribed” feed. I don’t roll that way myself, but I guess it allows you to see more content.
Like I’m sure there literally exists some user who secretly bots Lemmy, but why would anyone spend time and money botting our irrelevant little ass crack of the Internet?
No. If you block someone you admit defeat. Arguments/disagreements are a part of life and it’s important to at least try to understand opposing viewpoints otherwise you will not grow as a person.
LOL. When was the last time someone on Lemmy or reddit tried to understand your opposing viewpoint? Probably never.
LMFAO! Way to miss the point Captain Dumbass
Crazy how you can always tell what somebody got ran off reddit for
Oh wait it’s just cumfart again.
Sounds like projection homie
I don’t block almost anyone, usually the egregious bot accounts get banned. I think I’ve blocked maybe 3 accounts.
Only if I don’t like the content they post
Same i.e. 8 days acct age, 512posts, 2359 comments
If it hits my feed regularly and has no value or makes me cringe, hell yeah. We don’t have an algorithm here to help you sort out the content, your subs and blocks do all the lifting.
Someone arguing in bad faith? Block.
Someone reposting the same drivel day after day? Block.
Don’t care for the content of a community? block.
No need to fight, no need to complain, I have ~150 blocks, you’re doing them and youself a favor.
No, not consciously. However, I do block accounts that reply to me in a shitty or condescending way. Life’s too short to deal with these people and I’ll never meet them in real life. I’ve wasted far too much time engaging with arseholes over on Reddit, but since I’ve moved here I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the civility of most discourse. So that’s why I block anyone wrecking my experience.
no not specifically but I could see doing it if I felt it was warranted.
I think I blocked a couple of accounts years ago that were just reposting ancient memes from reddit in bot-like numbers. But it seems like the majority of content here falls under that category, so blocking seems futile. Can’t even use downvoting to correct the issue because our votes aren’t private/anonymous here and I don’t need a large account seeing that I downvote their content every time I come across it. It would have to feel personal at that point 😆
I don’t mind big accounts in principle, I just don’t want to see memes from 2018 being reposted every day with the same titles, and for there to be no other content from those accounts.

Downvote away, who cares if some massive account sees you don’t like their content? Also, who spends that much time checking who does(n’t) like what you post?
Maybe I’m weird, but I don’t care past a basic up/down count. And even then, I’ve seen some of the shit that gets upvotes in certain comms, I’m not concerned with going against the hive mind on certain topics.
There’s a fair few high volume posters who are definitely not bots, just terminally online (said with love!)
That’s not to say there aren’t bots that show up, but it’s definitely not all the high volume accounts
I think the only ones I’ve blocked are mostly just obviously malicious, I think there’s a one or two on there from ages ago I just found kinda unfunny, it’s not really tied to the volume of posts.
There’s not an endless amount of content here anyway, so I’m not gonna block someone just for contributing a lot, there needs to be some negative aspect to the posting for me to block
The ones I see who post multiple times per hour and never comment are quickly blocked by me. I prefer a smaller amount of thoughtful posts than a continuous blast of low effort posts with no engagement.
Sometimes. I like to interact with people who comment, but also with those who post those threads. If they post too much, they most likely don’t have time to talk about it.
deleted by creator
Certain new accounts come out of the gate posting to the same 5 or 6 groups before deleting themselves.
I get suspicious over every new account.
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.
