Inspired by the lemmy.ca post, I want to discuss if we should follow and defed lemmit ourselves.

For those who don’t know, or forgot because they blocked the bot, it’s a Reddit reposter instance. It has very low engagement, but posts a lot. About 30% of all posts on feddit.uk are from this bot (838192/2806651 when I did the SQL). It is also by far the most blocked user on the instance, 151 blocks with second being a mere 40.

It also only synchronises with Reddit one way, so if you reply to a post, the person on Reddit won’t see it.

If no one has any objections, I’m going to go ahead and defed as I don’t think it’s worth having around. Especially the way it makes the ‘New All’ feed useless if you don’t have it blocked.

    Support. Logged into this alt just to say so.

    Feeds are nicer without it. For new users, all it does is drive them back to Reddit - a place they very likely just left.
