[Discussion] Defed lemmit.online (feddit.uk)

Inspired by the lemmy.ca post, I want to discuss if we should follow and defed lemmit ourselves.

For those who don't know, or forgot because they blocked the bot, it's a Reddit reposter instance. It has very low engagement, but posts a lot. About 30% of all posts on feddit.uk are from this bot (838192/2806651 when I did the SQL). It is also by far the most blocked user on the instance, 151 blocks with second being a mere 40.

It also only synchronises with Reddit one way, so if you reply to a post, the person on Reddit won't see it.

If no one has any objections, I'm going to go ahead and defed as I don't think it's worth having around. Especially the way it makes the 'New All' feed useless if you don't have it blocked.

I think I'm one of those that blocked the bot a long time ago as it would dominate the new feed. I don't think it adds any value, happy to defed from it.
