So many #newsbots / #bots squat on the #Diaspora "Linux" hashtag. Most of them have multiple incarnations on different instances, so each post may appear in the stream 2-3 times. No wonder I only log in about once every 2-3 months.
(I'm using "ignore this poster" to manage the most frequent posting bots. They seem to make hashtags useless, because they pollute the stream with peripherally-connected junk articles.)

Whenever JD sends one of those “$NAME has a birthday today” messages, I think about finally closing the account. Between nearly all my contacts having abandoned #Diaspora years ago and tons of #newsbots posting article links in any #hashtag I have subscribed to, the content is mostly undesirable.
