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?
You must log in or register to comment.
I don’t block anyone but I do post frequently. I only ever get annoyed when someone is posting the same thing in multiple communities at the same time.
Yep. I’m not trying to see somebody just showing me the top 50 posts off their reddit feed day after day after day. That shit sure does numbers here though.
Ever had that reddit friend IRL who’s just always showing you reddit stuff you already saw? That’s who those are. They don’t comment, they don’t post oc, they never mix up their posts, it’s a bot. Straight to the block bin.
I block posters and commenters I don’t want to see. Its that simple.
I used to avoid it because I thought I’d create an echochamber, but I’ve come to realise that there’s a few users with fixations about specific issues that just give me the shits honestly.
Someone once told me that blocking people to curate your feed was a valid use case and I’ve never looked back. I don’t care too much about an echo chamber if I am removing people who are absolutely unhinged.
No, not consciously. However, I do block accounts that reply to me in a shitty or condescending way. Life’s too short to deal with these people and I’ll never meet them in real life. I’ve wasted far too much time engaging with arseholes over on Reddit, but since I’ve moved here I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the civility of most discourse. So that’s why I block anyone wrecking my experience.
