Full title: John C Woods, hangman of Nuremberg trials, who lied about his experience to get the job (he actually learned about hanging from old cowboy films). His lack of expertise led to excessive suffering of condemned Nazis.

      Same. Naturally some good stuff will occasionally come from there or even less likable places. I just don’t want all of it coming from one guy. Especially when they don’t even engage, they just mill posts endlessly without any thought at all

        In some ways it is easier if it comes from one account. Easier to block if you don’t like, and less chance of duplicate posts.

        I guess I’m not seeing the issue from having it come from one bot.

          Sadly, this person is not one bot. There’s been this whole thing about it, they’re one person operating a large number of automated accounts that they refuse to mark as bots.

          On a certain level, I’m probably just being petty that they’re hogging the feed and interaction from other people. But I’d like to pretend it’s actively making user interactions more superficial and attention-driven.

              This one showed up at the exact same time as all the other Moustachious accounts. He seems to want to put one repost bot per community.

              The one called “Sanitation” has been around much longer so I won’t personally point the finger there but others have.

          if it was just one bot it wouldn’t be as much of an issue, the problem is it’s more than one. I’ve already blocked two eerily similar repost accounts on other comms and I don’t want to keep playing whack-a-mole
