It’s manually-applied and reversible. I can’t reliably code an automatic reposter detection system because they’re all different. It’s going to have to be a human judgement.
Similar to labelling things as AI-generated or NSFW - being a reposter isn’t necessarily bad. It just means that people who don’t mind whether they see it can do so and those who don’t want to can avoid it, without the conflict that ensues when people with different needs and tastes are forced to share space.
Individuals, yeah. Instance admins are going to need to designate reposters if they refuse to self-designate (and Lemmy doesn’t have functionality for them to do that, except as a bot) and then it’s up to individuals to decide whether they filter out reposters or not.
Isn’t that just a client side filter, would be up to whoever runs the community/instance rules for handling bot accounts, and if they feel the accounts should be banned.
Yes the screenshot is just the user settings. Admins are going to have to manually designate accounts as reposters because I haven’t even tried to make an automated detection. That would be very hard to get right.
I wouldn’t like a blanket rule like that. I think that dropdown menu in the screenshot is perfect. Especially if paired with a toggle in the community settings that lets the mods ban posts from them entirely.
I’ll drop everything and come to piefed right now. On god.
Question though: How or will you differentiate between people who are scheduling mass posts from reddit from people who just saved memes that also happened to be there?
Working on it!
Awesome, thanks so much!
Is there a way to tell repost rates for today vs yesterday?
Not yet, this functionality isn’t running on a live server.
And what happens when you get this detection wrong?

And you’re leaving this up to individuals, not your judgement, right? If so, good idea. If not, eww.

Oh, so you’re leaving the labeling to instance admins, not individuals. That’s problematic, but you do you.
The label doesn’t do anything until individuals opt in to filtering based on it.
We can’t leave it to the reposters to self-identify because
Lemmy does not have the functionality to do that and
reposters are deceptive and sneaky
If you can detect it, you could auto ban them, no?
I think a rule against serial reposting would be fine and, probably, popular.

How is this any different to a user blocking them directly? What a useless feature.
Edit: Really?
Trying to mark me as a bot or possibly dox my IP by visiting your link because I thought it was a bad idea?

I hate the reddit reposts where the only interaction is on reddit … that defeats the point of lemmy\fediverse?
