I wasn’t sure where to put this, but it’s meta to Lemmy/Piefed so I figured this is as good a place as any.
I’ve noticed a trend of certain posters submitting several threads or even copies of the same thread back to back. Sometimes they’re all about the same topic, sometimes they’re different, but it seems like some people do all their posting at once. The result is usually something like 7 or 8 threads in my feed from the same person back to back, often with all of them being just images. So like, 8 images of cakes in a row or whatever.
Does anyone else find this obnoxious? I personally tend to block people who post this way so they don’t show up in my feed, but I’m wondering if it’s just me. It seems like poor etiquette to me, but I’m curious if I’m alone in this.
Only if it is low effort trash indistinguishable from spam.
One poster puts up a ton of historical and other clever images in bursts but each one is unique and interesting so they are a net benefit.
Volume and frequency are not nearly as important for me as whether it is interesting.
Yeah, there are a small handful of posters I don’t block that do this because their posts are good. I do wish they’d space it out but it is what it is.
Most of the time though it’s just a dozen images I don’t care about.
Would it matter if it was a dozen people who posted the exact same posts in the same time frame?
Yeah, I mean, that’s kind of obnoxious too. It’s a little different though, because it’s not one person whose routine is just to flood the feed all at once. If it’s 12 different people that’s just a coincidence. Or a broken cluster of botfarm accounts maybe.
