Defed from lemmit.online? (lemmy.ca)

I'm curious if anyone here actually finds value in the reddit posts brought over by lemmit.online, since I'd like to defederate from it otherwise.

It feels actively harmful to lemmy, since so many of the posts it brings over are questions that the original poster will never see. It encourages a conversation that will never happen, so if someone does reply they're going to feel disengaged.

The bot rarely gets any upvotes or engagement, and I suspect a majority of people (like myself) have just blocked it. TBH I forgot it existed until Tesseract showed me its posts again.

The bot has so many posts that it's profile page took longer than 30s for me to load, and I had to go adjust our timeouts to get it to finish. It's just going to get worse at the volume that it's posting, I'd rather just not deal with that particular scaling problem yet =)
