      As long as it’s relevant, it’s actual relevant content. I’m not complaining

      The Conversation is a reputable source and the article is relevant to the community.

      I can’t speak to the motives of the OP, but I have no issues with the content. I also only really hang out in “Local” these days. Given that this article is about the US president, I can believe it is widely posted across Lemmy. But this is the only one I’ve come across (so far 😃).

      This is what the voting buttons are for.

        Oh I thought you or one of the admins was the one banning him? or is he deleting his account?

        His latest one looks gone to me:

        Error!

        There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn’t work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.

        just found he was mentioned here: https://aussie.zone/post/24480380

          I ban spam bots almost daily, but I could probably count on my fingers the times I’ve banned human accounts. Unless people start flinging personal abuse or break site rules, we’re usually happy to let the vote buttons do their thing.

          afaict they’re getting banned by their own instance admins. Mostly LW admins, but a few other instances too.

            ah good point

            had a look in the mod logs but looks like he’s deleting his account? or if you get banned and then delete your account does that remove it from the mod logs?

            I can see one of his other accounts but ChocolatChaud doesn’t seem to show up anywhere

              I think ChocolatChaud may have been deleted before it got caught. fraiserouge got banned first.

      Oic, Yeah we don’t need the same article on 15 different groups on 10 different servers, I wish Lemmy Devs or app Devs would find a way to enable post aggregation
