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?
I have six nicoles in my block list 😄
Ah, Nicole. Classic
thats amateur hour compared to my cm0002 blocks. got to be at least a dozen.
Only if I don’t like the content they post
i wonder how many people have blocked me so far…
I never block you, but I always tag you and your many alts with some variation of
Definitely A Womanor something else that implies that I think you’re probably a dude who gets off on horny posting as a woman.It just wouldn’t be the same without you here.
I block posters and commenters I don’t want to see. Its that simple.
I used to avoid it because I thought I’d create an echochamber, but I’ve come to realise that there’s a few users with fixations about specific issues that just give me the shits honestly.
Someone once told me that blocking people to curate your feed was a valid use case and I’ve never looked back. I don’t care too much about an echo chamber if I am removing people who are absolutely unhinged.
Are you talking about age gaps dude?
But how would you feel if a financially stable, but socially flawed, middle aged woman from the South, were to date a moderately financially stable, but socially accepted, young man from Singapore? What are your thoughts on that?
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.
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.
I’m not sure how come anyone would try to farm karma when Lemmy doesn’t have karma points of any kind.
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.
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.
The only account I’ve had to block so far is LadyButterfly. I’m usually against blocking people but I just couldn’t take it anymore.
I have a few accounts blocked but I mostly block communities.
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
