Yea I just personally blocked the lemmit bot which made ml and lemmit much more… “Bearable”. Hexbear tho? I canned that instance after a few trips into it, some may find it bearable but it’s not for me. It toes a very fine line that I just don’t feel comfortable with, but hey, you do you.

If anything, if an instance is just 75% bot posting, I just silence it, especially a majority of the politic instances… I don’t need a bot spewing doom and gloom into my feeds at mach fuck.

For X links… I guess ban the links if you feel the need but maybe allow for screenshots of X posts since a lot of companies and emergency services use X for posting realtime information that doesn’t get posted elsewhere.
