[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (3 children) I got only one, but I didn't block it so we'll see. It's a shame people can't just seek out friends at random for real, but in this day and age it's obviously a scam. Granted, Lemmy people... idk, I guess a Lemmy friend is the kind you dm when you accidentally break your Linux. Or idk, discuss Marxism? Lol permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] muhyb@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago Blocking doesn't work since they create new accounts on bunch of different Lemmy instances every time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago I think the issue is the "random" part of it. If I had a back and forth with someone on a gaming or LGBT or political organizing community, and the exchange was pleasant and they wanted to chat more, I wouldn't be opposed, but if I've never interacted with someone and they are essentially spamming any and everyone the same copypasta, yea that's not someone I want to interact with. Shout out to lemmings that help with Linux too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.fish [S] 1 point 1 year ago it's from different users on different instances blocking won't work :( permalink fedilink source parent
