I don’t know if this was asked before and I don’t know how to look for that so I’m sorry if this is a repeat but, I keep seeing American football posts which I couldn’t care less about and I keep blocking the communities but they’re like thousands of millions of communities that never end. And no, I don’t wanna stick to the subscribed feed cause I wanna possibly find new communities or see posts from communities that I’m not subscribing to but are mildly interesting. I can’t think of good words to block either, without catching other communities I care about as well.
We could request that bot instance admins use a single user account vs a bunch of different users. That’s the problem with fanaticus - they have a bot for every different team - and I don’t see why that’s necessary. A single bot, like for the HN reposters, means someone can block all the posts with a single action, which would be nice.
What if you want some scores and not others though? Then those people couldn’t block the bot. I think that’s the thought process behind that.
Not saying I agree with it, just pointing that out
