I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I also find it odd that you don't seem to find their behavior "demoralizing and depressing"
For the most part, I just use tools and features built-in to Lemmy, like the cross-posting functionality. The most automation I use is simple notifications (e.g. I'm not manually "crawling through the modlog", it's just a (very buggy) python script that fires off a notification upon a matching set of conditions)
But yet, you're perfectly cool with them straight up exploiting a known weakness/design flaw in the Lemmy-verse to further their goals?? Where's your condemnation of that behavior. I'm not even the first, or last, user they've done that sort of thing to before. And even in some cases going further and straight up attempting to doxx users.
There's so much evidence and documentation, that I could form a mega thread on it, with everything from numerous examples of blatant censorship/micromanaging in furtherance of a toxic political agenda to allowing the spread of known propaganda/misinformation and repeating Russian/China talking points like Russia's Ukraine invasion being just a negotiating tactic or that the Uyghur Genocide was just birth control overblown
And your response was to handwave all that away with, "Just ignore them and any damage they do to the nascent Thrediverse"?
Which BTW, might have been viable, too bad they see proper user/instance blocking as a threat to their ability to spread their "message" so it still doesn't work properly after 4 years despite something like that being important enough that it should be considered a core feature
