No, it's an action that an instance admin can take quite easily.
No. That completely destroys the intent of having a tool that is meant to bootstrap communities.
You and I seem to have very different ideas of what is "spam". We have bots like @[email protected] that take RSS feeds from tech sites and post them to relevant communities and they seem to be well received. The posts are interesting get upvoted, the ones that are not get downvoted. Do you think that these bots should be considered "spammers"?
Let's leave at this: if you ever see any flood of content coming from alien.top, then I'll have no qualms in revising the policies and making adjustments to the system. But for now your arguments are inching closer and closer to concern trolling.
I also don't want to argue just for the argument, and noted we have very different perspectives without getting much closer.
Yes, thank you! Although I wonder what that might help, since you stated it's free software and you cannot control how it's being used.
