Comment on Report problematic instances
alexius@lemmy.world 2 years agoThanks. I stumbled across an instance that’s bot-posting in communities for each state, they’re basically scraping local news and posting them, which is incredibly annoying and destroys the possibility of sorting All by new.
That in itself isn’t rule breaking, just annoying, but the instance has communities which are sort of like travel agency bs, with straight up ads for hotels, plane tickets, and other services. I think they must’ve made like 300 posts in two or three hours, so they completely took over the feed.
I already reported the ones I found that are obviously spam/ads and blocked all the communities I found from that instance to have a decent user experience again

It is extremely annoying. It’s a for profit business (destinovate.com) that’s running a lemmy server on a subdomain of theirs (community.destinovate.com) to push their business.
I don’t think this goes with the fediverse’s philosophy at all.

All content was generated by one bot: megaphone@community.destinovate.com - I banned them from LW
