The team leader should have the authority to detain this person. That's how it works for the US. This shouldn't be an issue.

Well it seems kind of unnecessary and spammy?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

yeah sure, I'm just commenting to boost engagement. sometimes the post is so mind numbingly evil or sad or just interesting and I don't really want to sit and think about something interesting to say to entertain the gay people in my computer, but they might see the post if it has more interactions

Comments might influence the Hot algorithm (I haven’t checked) but Lemmy is small enough that people will be using different sorting like top 6 hours or new.

This isn’t youtube and I think your efforts are mostly wasted.

yeah it's not much of an "effort", but I get your point. you're saying I should make a few dozen bots do it...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No Im saying the platform is built in a way that your strategy is entirely pointless.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not pointless, I only opened this post because it had 13 comments

Damn me too. Are we on blackberry's side?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

They got my upvote, it's engagement. Heh

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Alright fair enough. I do love that you're trying to get engagement up, but I think your method might not be the most optimal.
