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 irony:
"see, I’m unbiased!”
What is a fraud farm?
Congress?
Nah, Congress is a money-laundering front.
Business schools are fraud farms
Lol
oh shit

So much fucking energy cost… so much fucking Earth cost
I’m so tired of reddit crossposts, they’re fucking useless.
Yeah I’m here to talk to people, not read bot posts
I forgot about those. Just blockbthe bot that posts them.
I can see how they were useful when Lemmy was smaller. But now there’s enough content for me to browse that I don’t miss those reddit cross posts.
I came here to avoid Reddit.
Now I get their posts like non-interactive ads.
Lemmy is basically Reddit it has all of the same community problems
I haven’t seen a single homophobic or transphobic post or comment yet. *knock on wood
Omfg. It put up an anti Vax post about eradicating autism. Holy fk.

Where?

Should I also block L4sBot?
Yeah, it’s the same guy.
It was easier for me to find this guy by just going into community posts instead of a search, thanks
I went looking for a post by them to block them. Turns out I already did.

Fuck it, I’m joining you. That sounds like a mentally healthy choice.
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
You a real one
Thank You! Honestly I think one of the things I like a lot about lemmy, and the fediverse, is the ability to easily block users, communities, and whole instances I don’t want to interact with a all. Everytime someone complains about seeing too many foreign meme or whatever I wonder if they have tried the blocking features to trim down the timeline.

Can we just make a rule for that one?
No elonposting
thank you for your service
Really odd some Lemmy choices, allowing News Aggregation Posts (Simple link and summary) from a particular user that is somehow not flagged a bot/influencer/paid. I duna know how you can post Tech News Links 10 times a day, every day, for 5 months and still be allowed to post as a “person”.
Omg I had not noeall those posts were from the same bot…thanks!
Good tip, already blocked them a few weeks ago due to all the Musk spam, and my feed improved significantly
How does that bot work?
I’m not sure, but my best guess is that it scrapes top daily posts on r/technology and reposts them here.
It’s a good idea for other subreddits actually, but r/technology is a shitshow.
Ty!
