    An actual bot can be coded to post every few hours, or even only post if a non bot hasn’t posted in x amount of time

    What’s worse is when a real human takes posts from reddit and spams them for a couple hours all over Lemmy.

    I have no idea how many accounts I’ve blocked for spamming “memes” like that, but it’s safely in the double digits.

      The NSFW subs are horrible about it. Someone makes a new one and then posts dozens of pictures that all show up at once.

        Even worse is the “sfw” ones.

        There was one account that made like 5 general ones for celebrities, and then a specific sub for every celebrity. So if he posted once, he posted 5 times in a row.

        When I blocked him, there was like 100+ subs. It made browsing /all unbearable.
