The irony:
"see, I'm unbiased!”
What is a fraud farm?
Congress?
Nah, Congress is a money-laundering front.
Business schools are fraud farms

First of all, L4s (sorry misspelled in titel) is not a real user, so no harm done here.
FYI: You can edit titles here, unlike Reddit.
Thanks, unfortunately it's not possible in my client Boost for Lemmy.
Edit: Nvm, found it through my desktop. Thanks again!
You can also make it so you don't see any bot accounts at all, makes the experience 10x better.
There's a discussion about bots posting on HackerNews but feel free to comment here
Which for awhile, this user(L4s) insisted on not labeling his bot as such because he felt his was special and deserved to be seen above others. Only after being massively called out did they fix it. But it left a bad taste in my mouth and I've had them blocked since, including their personal account. While the setting is useful, some users still need to be called out.
Is there a whitelist for that? Some of the bots are actually kind of useful
How?
There's a checkbox in your Lemmy account settings to allow/block all bot accounts. Only works if they identify themselves as such, so it's not foolproof, but it's better than nothing.

As an aside, you can edit your submission title on lemmy/kbin/mbin.
Thanks! I'm using Boost for Lemmy, and I can't really find the option here. Maybe it's not included in the app.

I went looking for a post by them to block them. Turns out I already did.
Thank You! Honestly I think one of the things I like a lot about lemmy, and the fediverse, is the ability to easily block users, communities, and whole instances I don't want to interact with a all. Everytime someone complains about seeing too many foreign meme or whatever I wonder if they have tried the blocking features to trim down the timeline.

L4s should be banned. Who controls it? What is their agenda?
Their agenda is "noble" (keep the content flowing here), but the reality is what the OP mentioned. I stopped going to the technology reddit sub because it was tiring to sift through the doomscrolling.

You a real one
Really odd some Lemmy choices, allowing News Aggregation Posts (Simple link and summary) from a particular user that is somehow not flagged a bot/influencer/paid. I duna know how you can post Tech News Links 10 times a day, every day, for 5 months and still be allowed to post as a "person".

Omg I had not noeall those posts were from the same bot..thanks!
Good tip, already blocked them a few weeks ago due to all the Musk spam, and my feed improved significantly
thank you for your service
How does that bot work?
I'm not sure, but my best guess is that it scrapes top daily posts on r/technology and reposts them here.
It's a good idea for other subreddits actually, but r/technology is a shitshow.
Thanks for the tip!
