All posts in the front-page are from the same user! They don’t see to be a spammer or anything, but either this is a bug or maybe the rest of the community needs to step up a bit?

    Im not a bot. its really frustrating that there seems to be clearly a reddit subversive operation going on where reddit agent provoacteurs are acting as “concerned citizens” trying to sabotage lemmy adoption. absolutely ridiculous

    Yeah no - lets remove all content and have an empty dead community - that would be so great /s

      You literally spend all day spamming articles you don’t read, making a massive pile of zero engagement garbage to flood the feed with. You’re basically a bot made of meat.

        You have 3 posts in the last 11 months and you’re lecturing someone else about contributing?

        I’m actually posting content that gives people something to read, discuss, or ignore. You’re contributing… what, exactly? Complaining that someone else is doing the work you won’t.

        If you think the feed is “flooded,” the solution is simple: post something better. But that would require putting in more effort than writing insults.

        Calling me “a bot made of meat” is especially rich coming from someone whose contribution history is indistinguishable from an inactive account. Spectating isn’t the same thing as participating.

          You’re right, I should spam 100 posts per day without even reading them. This would be a much more substantial contribution than participating in discussions.

            I don’t want to take anyone’s side here, but there is a big gap between “3 posts in 11 months” and “100 posts per day”. Maybe if you (and others) stepped up and made the effort to post once every day to a niche community you like, then there would be less of an incentive for sanitation to have automated posting tools?

              Lemmy is doing fine. There’s a substantial amount of content and most of it is decent. I don’t feel a need to inflate it by spending my time posting articles. I do feel a need to occasionally point out how obnoxious it is to see the same person spamming a dozen articles that they didn’t actually read one after another.

              It does not contribute to making Lemmy any better. It does contribute to their weird little ego fixation with the idea that spamming random shit is some sort of achievement.

            At this point I’m starting to wonder if you’re a Reddit agent provocateur.

            Because if my goal were to keep people from adopting Lemmy, I’d absolutely spend my time telling one of the few people actually posting content to stop posting, while contributing almost nothing myself.

            Thankfully, I don’t actually think you’re a Reddit operative. I just think you’re making a bad argument.

            If you want a better feed, post better content. That’s how communities grow.
