    For me it’s the doubling down defending themselves as they get banned from community after community. Like bro, have the tiniest modicum of self reflection please

      I’m not gonna out the user since that would put this post in violation of one of the rules here, but it appears they’ve set up camp and created their own communities to botspam to. I DM’d the admin of their home instance but who knows if they’ll see a problem with it.

      For me, it’s the people that come here and feel the need to bring all of Reddit with them. Like, do they also bring their shitty exes and all their baggage on dates with their new SO?

        Actually doesnt this raise scalability issues concern overall? Say if user count naturally increase x100 tomorrow.

          Technically speaking, yeah.

          But the instances that run on donations are more likely to get donations to cover the growing hosting costs from a 100x increase in real users as opposed to one bot spammer spewing out 100+ user’s worth of content each month. Ideally, that 100x increase won’t be concentrated on a single instance and will be spread out among many instances.

          While the amount of content from such an increase would be the same, the posting patterns are more organic from real users compared to the indiscriminate torrent coming from people running bots to repost everything from Reddit. That allows for a lot more granular management of resources.

            But won’t you need to fetch the content that’s posted on other instance in the end, even if distributed?
