For a few months now, these bot comments seem to be appearing more and more frequently. Always with a profile picture of a model making innuendos, accompanied by a generic comment praising the video and practically always adding some kind of emoji. Is this some new scam or is it just the current generation of spambots as per usual?

Not that I’m particularly interested in the YouTube comments, but I occasionally check them out and noticed this.

    this is why I think its so important the fediverse put as much power as possible to the user.

        well I did not go into detail but besides allowing the users to block users, magazines, urls, instances, etc we should also be able to subscribe to folks block list. Like if I have been interacting with reversalhatchery a lot and feel hes a good bloke with his head on straight then maybe I subscribe to his block lists to get a jump start on em. could always unblock later.
