After being off the the #fediverse for some time I'm struck with how many reposting and adbots there are. Or maybe it's just me going overboard when subscribing to #relay servers?

In any case, it's like the smog of the industrial revolution - It's a very noticeable sign of progression and people jumping on to the steam wagon, but we could still do without it.

@jansen you've definitely hit the relays a bit too hard I feel.
I'd see which instances they're coming from and suspend, but that's just my opinion.️

I can deal with unwanted bot-instances, easy to block on instance level. It's more the ratio of bots to users that's overwhelming and how there's a "a lot" of them on every large instance. I don't want to completely block the big instances, that's why I use relays after all - But individually muting them on my account or using the admin system to block them (as not to waste capacity on hosting their content) is tedious.
There's probably a good solution floating around, I just don't know about it.

@jansen yeah...it is tedious.
If there's a good solution, I'd love to know it because I just endlessly ban on my instance.️
I also use relay.fedi.buzz for more finetuned relays.
