Isn’t that just a client side filter, would be up to whoever runs the community/instance rules for handling bot accounts, and if they feel the accounts should be banned.
Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities
LordMayor@piefed.social 4 days agoIf you can detect it, you could auto ban them, no?
I think a rule against serial reposting would be fine and, probably, popular.

Yes the screenshot is just the user settings. Admins are going to have to manually designate accounts as reposters because I haven’t even tried to make an automated detection. That would be very hard to get right.

How is this any different to a user blocking them directly?

I wouldn’t like a blanket rule like that. I think that dropdown menu in the screenshot is perfect. Especially if paired with a toggle in the community settings that lets the mods ban posts from them entirely.
