Specifically the ones that post like bots but are not marked as bots.

The accounts that post into all sorts of comms including many they aren’t a member of. The posts are usually pretty low quality and its clear the operator is not curating anything.

I find them annoying so I block. What do you think about it?

    I block them if (f * t - p - e) / q * r passes a certain threshold, where f is the frequency of posting, t is how annoyed I am by the general theme or topic of those posts, p is the cuteness of their profile pic, e is the amount of effort they put into each post, q is the overall quality of the posts, and r is a random number generated by my subconscious.

      I think that’s just called a “constant.” Like: “Kbal’s Constant”. You don’t have to explain it, it just is. You should probably come up with a Greek letter for it tho.
