There's presently an account spamming and reposting to the community. You can find who it is easily enough. Can you please ban it? The community won't grow if it's all bots.

I can't actually tell who you're talking about. The most frequent poster in the last 24 hours that I can see is sherikaz, who has a whopping 6 posts in that period and still doesn't monopolize posting. It's possible that I or my instance have blocked the one you're talking about, though.

im sorta curious as cm002 does this thing were he reposts stuff from .ml instances to .world because he has a bug up his but about .ml. He seems like a bot and has a bunch of alts but I finally talked to him and he just behaves like a bot but appears human.

They're just weird in general

It's both. He wrote about it in /c/MeanwhileOnGrad where fascists make fun of tankies. Now I am waiting on him to stop spreading disinformation, if not, I’ll be forced to correct him.

They think it's their duty on the fediverse to manually take things off ml because of reasons.

Also don't see the irony of calling everyone and everything on ml tankie propaganda then taking that stuff off it and spreading it around.

Honestly only surprised they finally moved off world

Could be on the spectrum

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago

That could be a solid two thirds of frequent lemmy posters.

[-] ILoveUnions@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Probably closer to 90%. There's probably only a few diversity hires in the frequent posting club

Way more than that. I just assumed we’re all on it pretty hard on here
