Should we block zerobytes.monster? (programming.dev)

First happy new year everyone! Thanks a lot for all the work provided by admins and everyone involved in this lemmy instance.

Recently I am blocking all communities from zerobytes.monster instance personally. It just appears to be a ripoff some subreddits.

As there is no way to block all communities from some instance as a programming.dev user and as I feel these communities are mostly spam. I wonder if other people share the same feeling and if programming.dev should block them?

I hope I am asking via the correct channel. I don’t think this should be reported as I might also be in the minority and other people prefer to keeps these communities copied from reddit.

Kind reminder that you can set your default feed to subscribed only, or alternatively block the one bot that is reposting into communities on that instance

Thank you! I didn’t realized I could simply block the bot and not every community.
