Lately, I have seen a lot of models posting on our instance, and I’m not against it, but I noticed that some of them post the same photo in many communities, resulting in feed subscribed or local with the same photo every page or multiple page.
I want to see these kind of photos/models, thats why I don’t block them, otherwise are fine to post what ever they want.
Is it only me who see it as spam? and should we limit these models ?
This was already a thing, it just got exponentially worse with the removal of the downvotes (not sure if it’s still a thing, I’m on another instance now) and being honest it’s a general problem with lemmy, people don’t seem to understand how federation works, they just want their posts to be seem as fast as possible or to keep it visible (like news that get reposted a day or two later in a different instance for some reason).
But as people pointed in another comment, lemmynsfw gets specially spammy because all the posts come from the same instance and it just seems like the same picture gets spammed multiple times and… We all know the general feeling about sellers in the fediverse.
Downvotes work if you are subscribed to a community for a week or more
Please spare us the platitudes. When they can post to any number of loosely moderated, if even at all, communities at a time you’re asking us to be subscribed to every single community on the instance, A WEEK IN ADVANCE, just to self police as a community.
It’s not a platitude, it’s just a fact. Just trying to inform. You don’t have to subscribe to every single community, just the ones you want. If you are part of a community you can use downvotes to help shape that community. If you’re not part of that community then would it not make sense that you don’t have a vested interest in the content of it outside of removing spam?
If you want a post removed because it’s spam, downvotes isn’t going to do that. Report it, so that I or any of the other mods/admins, that check reports every day, can remove the post and ban the offender if need be.
