EDIT: question answered in commented links. Keeping it here for record keeping.

I saw that this user is constantly reposting from other instances, it’s basically all they do.

I could just block them, but I was wondering

  • is this maybe just a bot?
  • is it against the rules?

Ideally, they’d crosspost instead of repost. And I think this is against the very idea of the instance federation.

It’s really more a question than a call for action.

    I was curious about the same, mostly because of just that: curiosity.

    Also, cudos for making the effort of crossposting .ml content for those of us who have them blocked.

    I’ll change my tag for you accordingly.

    Note: I may have been the one who sparked the discussion regarding your status as human, as I asked some fellow mods via Matrix. Sorry for any trouble this may have caused. We have to be safe these days with both Cylons and Replicants among us, you know.

    Live long and prosper.
