        there’s someone who keeps making bots that just flood everywhere with articles

        previously known as

        Chocolat_Chaud@lemmy.ca

          The Conversation is a reputable source and the article is relevant to the sub.

          I can’t speak to the motives of the OP, but I have no issues with the content. I also only really hang out in “Local” these days. Given that this article is about the US president, I can believe it is widely posted across Lemmy. But this is the only one I’ve come across (so far 😃).

          This is what the voting buttons are for.

            Oh I thought you or one of the admins was the one banning him? or is he deleting his account?

            His latest one looks gone to me:

            Error!

            There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn’t work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.

            just found he was mentioned here: https://aussie.zone/post/24480380

              afaict they’re getting banned by their own instance admins. Mostly LW admins, but a few other instances too.

                ah good point

                had a look in the mod logs but looks like he’s deleting his account? or if you get banned and then delete your account does that remove it from the mod logs?

                I can see one of his other accounts but ChocolatChaud doesn’t seem to show up anywhere

                  I think ChocolatChaud may have been deleted before it got caught. fraiserouge got banned first.

          Oic, Yeah we don’t need the same article on 15 different groups on 10 different servers, I wish Lemmy Devs or app Devs would find a way to enable post aggregation
