First of all, L4s (sorry misspelled in titel) is not a real user, so no harm done here.

It’s an automatic bot xposting from reddit, making this community just as bad as r/technology, which kind frankly only revolves around politics and social media platforms.

I’ve had the user blocked 2 weeks now, and this community is muuuuch more enjoyable and is actually about technology now.

Just wanted to share a positive experience.

    The amount of the repost bot accounts got so annoying for me I just turned off “show bot accounts” in my settings. I don’t see some of the helpful ones, but it’s so much less frustrating than having to block all these bots.

    A lot the people making them are doing it in good faith, but when a bunch people are doing it at the same time on a lot of communities, it just gets to be way too much.

        The biggest problem is that a LOT of people don’t use the bot account flag, so it only blocks about 1/3 of bots on lemmy
