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 think I blocked a couple of accounts years ago that were just reposting ancient memes from reddit in bot-like numbers. But it seems like the majority of content here falls under that category, so blocking seems futile. Can’t even use downvoting to correct the issue because our votes aren’t private/anonymous here and I don’t need a large account seeing that I downvote their content every time I come across it. It would have to feel personal at that point 😆

    I don’t mind big accounts in principle, I just don’t want to see memes from 2018 being reposted every day with the same titles, and for there to be no other content from those accounts.

      Downvote away, who cares if some massive account sees you don’t like their content? Also, who spends that much time checking who does(n’t) like what you post?

      Maybe I’m weird, but I don’t care past a basic up/down count. And even then, I’ve seen some of the shit that gets upvotes in certain comms, I’m not concerned with going against the hive mind on certain topics.
