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.

Thanks a lot!

I wasn’t aware I could block an instance via my user’s setting in the web UI. But I don’t see anymore these bot generated communities in the feed now.

Thanks again!
