The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

I have filtered out a lot of the spammer accounts that just spew nonsense.

On one hand I'm lucky I can do that with sync. But on the other hand we shouldn't have to resort to whackamole.

I wouldn't mind if it was a few "bad apples", but every single fucking one of them are here to start arguments, call people racist, and generally act in the most abrasive manner possible.

[-] glasschewer@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

What's the argument there? People shouldn't have oppositional discussions online? You just want to live in an echo chamber?

One of the saddest things about silicon valley social media products is the way they silo people off and prevent exchange of ideas.

And here on lemmy, reddit users who got used to it silo themselves off willingly.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

The issue is, there is no discussion or exchange of ideas happening, just a group of people behaving like seagulls.

[-] glasschewer@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Very good faith reply here. I have no choice but to take you at face value.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

That's always the way with these threads. Just formless whining that boils down to "they're too active" and you look at OP's user history and someone gently pushed back on them being casually racist the previous day.

i mean, bro, you're being racist as fuck in that other thread.

i'm not from hexbear, you gonna start a thread about kbin, now, too?

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh boy, don't get me started on kbin. Soooo much spam. About 90% of our spam reports (for actual spam) are for kbin.social posts, and I presume the reports don't federate to kbin so I just remove it from our view and then it stays on kbin 🙁

Seriously if you have a suggestion I'd love to hear it. There are too many thoughtful kbin participants to consider defederation. But oh boy is the spam annoying.

[-] liv@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Kbin is still being built, I'd suggest you get someone over there to flag this issue with their dev team.

It's really not hard to remember. You'd only think that if you didn't try to say it once even. Papakanghorohoro or something

you literally only missed an a in kanga

i didn't have to look it up to know this

you know why? because i already knew the word papa and horohoro is the same fucking sound repeated twice. there is no possible reason this could be anything other than racist. i'm not from new zealand and i learned the word in fifteen seconds and i know fucking no te reo besides te reo, maori, haka and fucking PAPAKANGAHOROHORO

Please share a list of spammer accounts so we can point and laugh (at you)

[-] 50MYT@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

That makes no sense?

The app I use has a built in filter. You just add a user to the filter and you don't see their posts or comments.
