First of all, L4s (sorry misspelled in titel) is not a real user, so no harm done here.
It’s an automatic bot xposting from reddit, making this community just as bad as r/technology, which kind frankly only revolves around politics and social media platforms.
I’ve had the user blocked 2 weeks now, and this community is muuuuch more enjoyable and is actually about technology now.
Just wanted to share a positive experience.
The author of the bot could always add political keywords to avoid too.
Or segment into more than 1 bot. 1 tries to only surface tech, another is less choosey. Then we block per taste. I’m not talking about 5 bots. 2, maybe 3.

Ooh, how does one make a Lemmy bot? A couple of communities I moderate could benefit from a bot to post regular threads based on a template or respond to comments that contain key phrases.

Thanks so much for the generous offer!
Would you be opposed to chatting publicly, perhaps on [email protected] or [email protected]? The communities aren’t very active, but seem like suitable places to discuss this topic. I can’t imagine that we are the only people interested in this, and I feel that fostering some open-source bot development could be beneficial for the fediverse as a whole.

Thanks; done.
