@[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.

I'm in favour of defedding. It's just Reddit spam that's not needed here. If people find interesting things over on Reddit that also belong here, that's one thing, but there's no reason to make a 1:1 copy. Let Lemmy be Lemmy and let Reddit be Reddit. They don't have to be the same thing.

Has anyone noticed @[email protected] as well? Is it doing the same thing?

Just glancing through it, it looks like it. I'd defederate from that instance, too. It seems to just be cloning certain popular Reddit subreddits and auto-postink their posts to lemmy.link.
