@bot@lemmit.online has been subject to multiple reports from our users over the last while.

We would like the users' input on how to deal with it. It is the opinion of the administrators that @bot@lemmit.online, and @lemmit.online doesn't add anything positive and constitutes spam. We especially want to make sure we get feedback as we are more likely to be sensitive to bots like this and other forms of spam compared to most users as we'll often scroll through "All" sorted by new.

Here are the options.

Defederate from Lemmit.Online
Ban @bot@lemmit.online from lemmy.ca
leave it up to users to block @bot@lemmit.online

That server has no users. Just the bot. So in tyhis case banning the server is effectively banning a single user. But also saves on resources when the lemmy.ca server doesn't need to fetch the posts that are blocked by a large percentage of the local users.
