yeah so when this person started their stuff I thought they were a bot but after conversing with them a bit I just block em. They are somene with mental issues such that they are bot like in behaviour. It was kinda funny how I encountered them because it was due to them reposting a comic I did and I got sorta sick of it showing up in my feed over mine. The thing is they would only repost mine. I asked them if they would post it every day and thus I would just not need to and they were like. no. only repost.
Holy crap, I am sorry you have to deal with this.
The more I hear stories like these, the less I believe that social media can ever be a net good to society.
I want to believe that the Fediverse could be a healthy alternative, but damn why is it that this place gets to be so much smaller than the corporate networks and yet feel just as toxic as them?
I started working on the Fediverse because I believed that normies could benefit from social media that is mot controlled by any corporation. Now I am starting to feel like the only winning move is not to play.
Just report to your admin the spam accounts problem solved
I am the admin of the instance. I don't think the posting is a problem.
It's funny you described that account's behavior as so abhorrent it might cause you to quit the fediverse, but also that you don't have a problem with it.
To each their own I guess! I think it's crazy to expose yourself to content that makes you upset but to each their own.
I said at the original post...
Ironically, I reported your comment due to your veiled implication I have mental issues.
You completely edited your comment to remove the offensive part. Ok. I will take that as an apology.
Replying to your new comment: you misunderstood.
I'm not the one being affected by cm0002's behavior. My complaint is not that I want to quit because I am feeling bad about their particular actions (this doesn't affect me directly, I can tune it out just fine, I don't attach myself emotionally to anything here) but it is simply externalizing this realization that social media seems to be a place that self-selects for fucked-up people, so there isn't much of a point in trying to build a "healthier alternative".
