A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
As far as I can tell, they are providing a valuable, wanted, service. It's unfortunate that it's impacting you negatively somehow, but I think people would prefer that they keep it up.
Is what they are doing bothering you, or did you just misunderstand the point of their behaviour, and assumed something malicious was going on?
The "service" has negative value. All it accomplishes is spam, doubling or quadrupling posts, and making every single user of a large instance out to be a tankie. There is also no shot it isn't just a script or bot being run unless they themselves spend an insane amount of time on ml making the while "boycott" thing horseshit to begin with.
And at this point, random instances are being starved of resources by the account spam (the federation takes disk space and bandwidth).
If people didn’t want it they wouldn’t upvote it. It’s that simple. You don’t get to speak for others.
The cm bot also blindly reposts content. There have been a number of times it has posted something or has already shared in the same community, or what they posted was cross posted to an ml community and they shared it back to the original community.
Whether it really is a bot or not, it acts like an unmarked bot account.
I always sort by new, so if I see a post from a cm_bot I know if I scroll a little bit I will see the original. And since I have almost all ml communities blocked I see it on other instances already.
Honestly I haven’t ever had a complaint against them, I don’t really pay attention to names and appreciate their effort to grow coms outside of ml.
I do notice the constant complaining though, that’s annoying!
Yup, also have 30 blocks for this username
@jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone @rant@lemmy.sdf.org
While I do remember seeing that user handle several times across the "New Comments" feed, I went through all my previous notifications and I couldn't find any interaction from/to they. So, I particularly had no problems with this person, just like I also never had problems with Hexbear users, despite seeing a whole Lemmy complaining about them.
Ive blocked them a ton of times myself. Summit (android client) lets me filter for username string.
yeah I have a history with this guy who I thought was a bot but he responded back. apparently he just acts like a bot. Like his purpose in life is to post and he posts with wierd agendas rather than just because he is sharing things he likes. Sometimes people ask how many people you block and I always have to say how many of the blocks are like the same persons alts. as someone said he would just move to cm003 so for now im glad he is staying in a pattern so that I can just block right away.
Can someone explain what is wrong here?
Someone called cm0002 goes around Lemmy and frequently calls people stupid tankies and then he gets banned and whines about it on .world
it reflects extremely poorly on lemmy/threadiverse in general that this type of behaviour is tolerated at all let alone encouraged
I wasn't aware Piefed had this feature. Good to know.
