Do you block accounts that post with very high frequency? (fedinsfw.app)

Specifically the ones that post like bots but are not marked as bots.

The accounts that post into all sorts of comms including many they aren't a member of. The posts are usually pretty low quality and its clear the operator is not curating anything.

I find them annoying so I block. What do you think about it?

I block them if (f * t - p - e) / q * r passes a certain threshold, where f is the frequency of posting, t is how annoyed I am by the general theme or topic of those posts, p is the cuteness of their profile pic, e is the amount of effort they put into each post, q is the overall quality of the posts, and r is a random number generated by my subconscious.

    I think that's just called a "constant." Like: "Kbal's Constant". You don't have to explain it, it just is. You should probably come up with a Greek letter for it tho.
