@retoor Idea against spam: Make your bots spam comments on spam posts with walls of text of insults or something

No. DR is already hanging on duct tape and snots. Let's not spam to fight spam, shall we?

@netikras Only comments under spam posts. I think that's fine

@12bitfloat or make it one long lorem ipsum? Troll them like a dev 😜

@12bitfloat additional unnecessary traffic + disk pressure + there is no point to spam inside spam posts. I see nothing to gain. Except make more spam

@12bitfloat spambots' goal is to distribute info. Not to collect feedback. It's as useful as cursing into /dev/null

@netikras The problem is spam posts with botted updoots. If you spam them with "THIS IS A SCAMMER" or something, the spam becomes ineffective and they will stop

@12bitfloat imo spam is ineffective in thisplatform regardless the number of comments...

And comments are only visible when you click on a spam post, so you must have seen and read the post already...

Maybe it's just me, I fail to see how spamming with comments would help

.

@retoor Ah well, ya tried :D

Or we set up our own accounts as downvote bots (I've still got downvote privileges and I downvote everything I see)

@atheist I don't :(

I downvoted to many bot accounts

@retoor This is war; time to do away with the reputation system, put a blacklist in place, and begin mass-production of accounts. How many soldiers can ragnar command on it's own? We'll need multiple battalions.

@retoor does it ever get discouraging or something that people don't know what you're doing? 😁

@12bitfloat psst do you have examples of good async code in rust? like say with tokio?

@retoor hmm I always get discouraged when humans are involved

@retoor I dislike attention. cuz the attention is generally negative

like misinterpretations, which is annoying. or nihilism, which is discouraging

@12bitfloat For example
