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.
I’m so tired of reddit crossposts, they’re fucking useless.
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
You can also make it so you don’t see any bot accounts at all, makes the experience 10x better.
Which for awhile, this user(L4s) insisted on not labeling his bot as such because he felt his was special and deserved to be seen above others. Only after being massively called out did they fix it. But it left a bad taste in my mouth and I’ve had them blocked since, including their personal account. While the setting is useful, some users still need to be called out.
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”.
I’ve also been accused of being a bot. I assure you all I am not.
I am merely a pathetic loser with lots of time on my hands.
