I think the issue is the “random” part of it. If I had a back and forth with someone on a gaming or LGBT or political organizing community, and the exchange was pleasant and they wanted to chat more, I wouldn’t be opposed, but if I’ve never interacted with someone and they are essentially spamming any and everyone the same copypasta, yea that’s not someone I want to interact with. Shout out to lemmings that help with Linux too.
I got only one, but I didn’t block it so we’ll see.
It’s a shame people can’t just seek out friends at random for real, but in this day and age it’s obviously a scam.
Granted, Lemmy people… idk, I guess a Lemmy friend is the kind you dm when you accidentally break your Linux. Or idk, discuss Marxism? Lol
Blocking doesn’t work since they create new accounts on bunch of different Lemmy instances every time.

it’s from different users on different instances blocking won’t work :(
