Fair warning: if you use a script or bot to edit comments, most of your subreddits will ban you for doing so. They apparently either have tools to detect this, or else the users left behind are sensitive to it and are reporting it.

Source: I did this, and am now banned from my favorite communities on reddit.

Upside: I don’t care, because I’m not going back, anyway, and now most of my comments have been overwritten.

Downside: The script I used missed editing TONS of comments, so I ended up editing and deleting hundreds of comments by hand anyway. (I commented a LOT, apparently! 🤣)

How does one mute an entire instance?

OMG I just flashed back to that “add account” bit on the sidebar…🤯

I hadn’t processed that it meant I could run more than one account from the same app. How cool!

Ohhhhh, that was an interesting nugget of information that I didn’t previously understand. Thank you for sharing that.

So, the only way to keep a bad actor registered in your instance from flaming in another one would be to revoke their account completely, then?

Other servers probably need to be able to block individual users from posting anywhere on their instance if we don’t want to end up as mostly disfederated, isolated servers.

I will say…the John Oliver options are highly awarded! 😁

Will you try to bring those communities over to lemmy?

Thank you for getting this going! 🐹
