Hi, I’m the author of @nitrofuel, a semi-automated tech news bridge to different Lemmy’s communities and instances. This is not a standard bot, beacuse all links have to be review by the mantainer (at the moment, me) before the bot can post it on all communities (about 14 are registred in the main dataset); i know this is kinda spammy, but the idea is to still keep a medium content-quality threshold. The bot user just got banned, after less than an hour of running?
Is it possible to be unbaned? Is there a limit of posts/communities? Is there an higher content-quality threshold? I can change how the system works, but I wanted to ask for a possibility to be unbanned / recreate the account with infranging ToS, in order to build a better platform.
(P.S. The Nitrofuel bridge is also designed to slow the content output if the user partecipation goes up, in order to slowly fade away when a lot of other user-generated original high-quality content is posted; the final objective is to have the account officialiy deleted when the interested communities are fully-grown and there’s a sufficent amount of high-quality original content)
I don’t have an answer, but I do have a question: what is the purpose of posting across multiple communities? I’ve been scrolling through my “all” feed and have seen several posts by your bot, mostly with the same title and link. It’s annoying, but I would’ve personally just blocked your bot in the next half hour or so, I wouldn’t have reported or expected to see it banned.
