So block the community if it is something you don't want to see.
Obviously I can block them. I wouldn't call bot spam a community, however.
They're making a post here because bot spam is generally considered a problem on Lemmy. Not something that people just don't like, but actually something that is against the site's terms of service.
Honestly we really need to stop delegitimizing these concerns and default to telling people to close their eyes because they "don't wike it ๐ถ" (that's what encouraging people to block it is) because people bring real problems to the table that need to actually be addressed.
Lemmy isn't a free speech platform where everything goes and that's kind of the point. Part of that is that when people or communities step past the threshold of what is acceptable, somebody needs to report it or speak up so that it gets addressed. And that's what posts like these are.
Should an admin jump in?
Maybe, I guess it depends on how much of an issue bot-spam is to them. I mean if lemmit.online was considered an issue to them, they might want to look into this.
Edit: seems they've already been removed by the moderators of Lemmy.world.
