I commonly browse all by new, and I block users who crosspost any given article to more than one other community. To me it’s almost always a sign that they actually don’t care about the topic or contents, but instead their own post count and user recognition.

    Am I on your blocklist? I’ve done some cross posting of my own content. Things have settled down now, but I know for awhile there it wasn’t really clear which communities were going to take off.

      Nah. I think my post comes across a little more rigid in theory, than in my practice. I’m blocking people that are really just spamming shit, with little interaction with the communities they’re targetting. If it seems like someone is legitimately trying to engage, I won’t.
