First of all, L4s (sorry misspelled in titel) is not a real user, so no harm done here.

It’s an automatic bot xposting from reddit, making this community just as bad as r/technology, which kind frankly only revolves around politics and social media platforms.

I’ve had the user blocked 2 weeks now, and this community is muuuuch more enjoyable and is actually about technology now.

Just wanted to share a positive experience.

I don’t know about you but I find these bot posts actually useful! And there’s healthy discussion too which is the point of lemmy?

It’s a fair point, but I don’t believe it has anything to do with c/Technology. It belongs somewhere else.

The requirement for posts are so low, that if something is just POSTED on a social media platform, it somehow has a place in this community.

Thank You! Honestly I think one of the things I like a lot about lemmy, and the fediverse, is the ability to easily block users, communities, and whole instances I don’t want to interact with a all. Everytime someone complains about seeing too many foreign meme or whatever I wonder if they have tried the blocking features to trim down the timeline.

Good tip, already blocked them a few weeks ago due to all the Musk spam, and my feed improved significantly

Really odd some Lemmy choices, allowing News Aggregation Posts (Simple link and summary) from a particular user that is somehow not flagged a bot/influencer/paid. I duna know how you can post Tech News Links 10 times a day, every day, for 5 months and still be allowed to post as a “person”.
