I'd love the ability to filter users based on average posts per day. My world does not need twenty screenshots per hour of some edgy comments from Xitter. I don't care whether the posters are human or not; what does it matter if they've become meat puppets of the algorithm?

Same here. Shortly after I joined the Fediverse I didn't want my feed to look like Reddit's, so I made a rule that if I saw more than one post by someone on my feed at a time that I'd block them. The majority of these are new accounts, so I'd also like the option to filter these accounts out.
the reddit reposting bots are not entirely without merit.
its hard to get communities of reddit users to move to the fediverse, but a bridge in the form of a bot can make the transition more appealing.
e. theres also the data exfiltration aspect. as reddit becomes a walled garden, reposting bots effectively free that reddit content into the ether of the fediverse.
It's absolutely worthless if nobody comments and the reposting communities are deader than dead as far as I can tell.
I don't understand people who advocate for less content on the Fediverse. Sure, all-original, organic content is ideal, but I'll take Reddit reposts over nothing at all. And how are we to expect new users to stick around if there's nothing here?
The ones that annoy me the most are the reddit repost bots from their ai sublemmy.
I understand the want for them during the great api migration but, there's enough people here now to have a conversation. Just post the shit you want to talk about and have a meaningful conversation.
The thing is though is it's just spam content with no interaction. Even the people setting up the bots without interacting with the content they post.
And honestly, if they would just steal the content of the post and use a bit to repost that, I wouldn't have a problem with that. But it's all text and self posts. If it's articles, that's great.
Look at the ask reddit bot. It's just reposting valid questions some other bot is posting to reddit.
Yeah it doesn't feel useful.
Yes, I highly recommend you block Beep.
I don't know how was he allowed to stay for WHOLE 3 MONTHS in the fediverse!
Who the hell does he think himself to post "memes, photos and links" and to mod communities on social media.
We will be damned if we let him go on.
These posting patterns are pretty easy to spot, I wonder why protections haven’t been built yet. It’s only going to get worse.
Beep at least actually does puppet this account (even though they have several accounts).
