    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.

        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.
