this recent explosion is borderline spam. we’re one step away from being flooded with people posting pictures of boxes. time to test these filters.

Well, most of them are from me, so not sure how you can filter that. And I usually post twice a day, hopefully that's not "bordeline spam"

I turned off the you-filter so I can show you how easy it is to filter out whatever you like, be it whole instances, communities, or users.

spam is whatever an individual deems it to be. if 90% of posts from the last week are from one user, I call that spam. I don't want "content" for its own sake. I prefer quality or originality over quantity.

side note: reddit stomped the individualism out of their users, the very source of their success. like others have said here, I'm not interested in seeing posts from there copied to here.

I'd like to see more engagement and interaction on here, I want this place to grow, but I also don't want this place to only try to imitate the reddit board. I'm sure I come across as 'old man yells at clouds,' that's fine, whatever. however, I think most people here would agree that there needs to be a balance. why even come here, if everything is copied and regurgitated from reddit?

But that's the whole point. If you filter me, then you won't see the next post that would show you some creation similar to this Hidden Sakura.

if 90% of posts from the last week are from one user, I call that spam.

I would more than happy if other users would join posting too. 2 posts a day seem reasonable.

why even come here, if everything is copied and regurgitated from reddit?

It is not. The Hidden Sakura post, the Red London Phonebooth, and the Mirrorhelm posts are not on Reddit, I found them on the fansite I link in the body of the posts.

I think I see where you come from, but I don't think what I'm doing is that detrimental.

Anyway, you do you, have a good one.
