PSA: If you're tired of political posts in Technology, block user L4s (lemmy.world)

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.

You can also make it so you don't see any bot accounts at all, makes the experience 10x better.

Which for awhile, this user(L4s) insisted on not labeling his bot as such because he felt his was special and deserved to be seen above others. Only after being massively called out did they fix it. But it left a bad taste in my mouth and I've had them blocked since, including their personal account. While the setting is useful, some users still need to be called out.

I'm so tired of reddit crossposts, they're fucking useless.

I came here to avoid Reddit.

Now I get their posts like non-interactive ads.
