Good bots follow orders
I disable them individually as them come up, but it's a pain, and can see why people just Death Star the lot of them (is "death star" a verb?).
As the author of a bot that I hope is useful though, it's kind of a bummer.
If “Death Star” isn’t a verb it should be. I’ll allow it.

help a poor noob here please, explain how to do it
It depends how you're accessing Lemmy.
On the website, you can click on the 3 vertical dots near the post or comment, and chose 'Block User' from there.
On the Voyager app, you can click the user's name, and then select it from the 3 horizontal dots.
It might be that whatever app you're using doesn't support it. Before Voyager did, I used to go into my Settings and then search for the user (e.g. [at] bot [at] lemmit [dot] online) in the 'Blocks' sections.
I personally like bots
