I have just noticed a new community that is dedicated to harrassing an influencer they don't like. They are migrating here after being banned from Reddit.
I don't see anything in the rules that this might run afoul of, but I wanted to make a post and ask if this is content we really want on lemmy.ca? The same influencer who got them kicked from reddit could come after lemmy.ca.
A sort of related more general comment. For the sake of my Local feed, I wish Lemmy.ca was only human-created Canada-centric content. That's why I signed up to the lemmy.ca instance. A couple week's prior to this community's creation there was an influx of bot-run communities. I blocked them, because I don't want to see 15 Cool Guide or Reddit-based Nostalgia posts in my Local feed, displacing human-created Canada-centric content. It's not a perfect solution though, because I wouldn't mind seeing those posts on my All feed. I know from community growth and server cost perspectives it doesn't make sense to limit who or what can be posted (beyond blocking hate speech and other obviously objectionable material). I wish I could have multiple Subscribed feeds. In lieu of that, maybe I should choose another instance based on Local feed appeal and port Lemmy.ca communities that I like to my subscribed feed
I appreciate your helpfulness, thank you! I'm aware of that setting but ideally I'd be able to set it differently for different feeds (i.e., no bots on my local or subscribed feeds, but bots are okay on my all feed)
Yeah I don't know if the Local feed is useful anywhere but in the smallest, most specific instances. If our instance for example allowed only Canadian related communities. E.g. TorontoCycling but not Cycling.
