Today I noticed a huge wall of spam from UniversalMonk from 2 different accounts and didn't initially think much of it and blocked their communities but more spam came from different communities.
At this point I checked and saw that they had created several communities which then led me down the rabbit hole to discover that their posts had almost entirely covered the new posts page of both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee. Later on I discovered that they're posting right-wing propaganda and misinformation from breitbart, foxnews you name it.
He's already caused and stirred shit 2 months ago and clearly I can see why now.
At this point it's difficult to believe that UniversalMonk will learn proper netiquette in: not post spamming, being considerate to others, and not sharing right-wing extremist content that no one wants.
Forgot about that guy. They have the honor of being my first ever block.
How long have you been here? a day without a block is a day I probably wasn't online for long.
I've never blocked anyone.
Yeah me neither.
while there's plenty of people on my list too I'd say the majority are just foreign language communities.
Blocking shit you don't want to interact with is significantly easier than finding stuff you do, and makes the internet a much nicer place.
I like the internet to be a chaotic place.
it can be chaotic without being upsetting
I don't get upset easily.
I've got an empty block list. The most I do is add a tag if I'm browsing on my phone.
