While I want to block content bots, I don’t want to block useful bots like @CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world @remindme@mstdn.social. Because of this, I will block them one by one. I am sharing it here for community benefit. Any addition/removal is welcome.
- @linkbot@lemmy.link
- @bot@lemmit.online
- @KensandRssBot@lemmy.kensand.net
- @PostBot@chat.maiion.com
- @lemmybot@lemmy.staphup.nl
- @philly_bot@fanaticus.social

Maybe. 2nd idea I’ve got is that if no one is replying after say 24hrs and something like 75-80% of your posts are as such and you have at least 100 such posts, you get added to the list?
Main concern I see about something like this is false positives and how someone real could end up getting blocked.
I definitely want to think on this some more but it might have some legs.
I think
is sufficient to determine a user is a content aggregator bot. Bot flag is an important indicator here. Like the biggest false positive would be ban a multi-purpose bot that also has content aggregation feature.
