    Any synopsis? Or is this just to drive clicks to your blog?

    This community seems to be inundated with just random links with no actual information added as to why I should want to click it, or what is actually at the link.

    This is a prime example. It’s simply a link to a blog, with “Free Public Wifi” as the title. Literally nothing else. No synopsis, no information as to why I should want to click it, or read whatever is written. Just an ambiguous title linking to an ambiguous blog.

    Of course it’s also cross-posted to as many other communities as possible.

    Thank you, I am quickly getting quite sick of people just link bombing communities without adding anything to say what the links actually are or do. There should be rules around it. I already block bots (which doesn’t seem to work) I guess it’s time to start blocking other accounts that do this.
















  • I don’t. There is a community I subbed to that has absolutely nothing to do with American politics. The mod of that community keeps posting bs about American politics to that community under the guise of “they used a computer to post whatever so it belongs in this community about technology”.

    This is on one of the bigger sites and bigger instances. I ended up blocking that community from my personal instance because it was being inundated with a bunch of crap having nothing to do with technology, but certainly had an agenda.

    If that was the only community that (supposedly) was about technology, I’d have to find a bunch of other, niche communities to cover what that one does (or should).
