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'm so tired of reddit crossposts, they're fucking useless.

[-] [email protected] 67 points 7 months ago

I came here to avoid Reddit.

Now I get their posts like non-interactive ads.

Yeah I'm here to talk to people, not read bot posts

I forgot about those. Just blockbthe bot that posts them.

I can see how they were useful when Lemmy was smaller. But now there's enough content for me to browse that I don't miss those reddit cross posts.

Same. Much better. In fact if anyone is new to lemmy, blocks will do a world of service to your experience
