I don’t know if this was asked before and I don’t know how to look for that so I’m sorry if this is a repeat but, I keep seeing American football posts which I couldn’t care less about and I keep blocking the communities but they’re like thousands of millions of communities that never end. And no, I don’t wanna stick to the subscribed feed cause I wanna possibly find new communities or see posts from communities that I’m not subscribing to but are mildly interesting. I can’t think of good words to block either, without catching other communities I care about as well.
We could request that bot instance admins use a single user account vs a bunch of different users. That’s the problem with fanaticus - they have a bot for every different team - and I don’t see why that’s necessary. A single bot, like for the HN reposters, means someone can block all the posts with a single action, which would be nice.
What if you want some scores and not others though? Then those people couldn’t block the bot. I think that’s the thought process behind that.
Not saying I agree with it, just pointing that out
The way to arrange that would be different communities for each team, then people subscribe to the ones they want. It’s also what the sports instance already does.
