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.

I was just exploring All to find some new communities to sub to and I ran into the same thing. First thing, I have a domain block in Voyager so that might be something your client can do if you're on mobile. Second, if you block the user [email protected], I think that clears all the automatic Reddit cross posted garbage (if that instance even has actual users, they are buried too deep to find).
