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?


For the most part…no, I don’t. I’m still of the mindset that there’s not enough people posting across communities, so blocking accounts is an absolutely last resort for me personally.
That said, there is one account that I know of that I question if it’s really a person or a bot. I won’t say who. However, they post multiple times an hour across a lot of communities. (I even went to their profile once to see when there would be a sizable break/gap for when they should be sleeping and didn’t find a gap within a 24 hour window!) I actually removed myself from one community because the posting there became way too frequent. Elsewhere that same account posts relevant content, so that was a better balance for me.
TL;DR - Usually no, so long as they’re posting what I consider acceptable/decent quality content. I’m more likely to remove myself from one community than block an account to tone down the level of posts in my subscribed feed.
I definitely understand finding it annoying though.
