This behavior is as annoying as it is unhelpful. I agree that nobody should let the story fade from public interest but spamming random threads doesn’t accomplish that. It’s just obstructive and if anything it’s doing more harm than good. There is a thing called alarm fatigue. If you keep “shouting from your rooftop” you are just going to push your neighbors into shutting their windows.
Also maybe consider talking to a therapist about it? It’s none of my business but this level of investment seems unhealthy.
There’s a child rapist as president. That’s incredibly more “unhealthy” than me being bored at work.
You can’t cry ‘censorship’ for obviously violating the platform’s rules. And also not even getting banned yet.
I mean, that’s kinda what Trump supporters tend to do on commercial social media platforms.
Care to show me the exact rule?

Do not engage in content manipulation such as posting spam content
I understand you think you’re an exception and don’t qualify as spam. The admins appear to disagree. Going by comments here, the community seems to disagree.
So no matter how much you wave around your interpretation, I would assume you are going to get banned unless you stop doing this.
Correct. I don’t think it’s “spam”. I also won’t bitch about getting banned if that’s a mod/admin decision.
Or you could just stop? And keep participating in Lemmy?
How dull.
As many others have commented to me:
“Don’t like it, just scroll past.”
I dunno what you mean. You can keep doing what you’re doing without literally copy paste spamming the same message, if that is what you want. You can copy paste spam somewhere else and stay on Lemmy.
Helping populate the Fediverse, at the expense of corporate social media helping Trump, is a hugely positive thing.
What’s the point of throwing that away?
So, you want me to work harder to put out an important message?
Get lost with that crap.
I think an important part of calling something spam is that it’s unwanted. I don’t mind the Epstein posts.
An equally important part of spam is the volume in a time span. Posting something positive, but massively repetitive, is also spam.
Doesn’t seem like something that needs to be posted at all.
Trying to restrict comments against Trump is certainly problematic and should be identified.
But there was no restricting. You were politely asked to stop spamming.
Not spam. Restricting. Don’t be daft.
In that case keep spamming and you’ll find out what a proper restriction looks like soon.
It has nothing to do with Trump. You can’t spam the same message over and over again, no matter what the subject is.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
Your comment mentioned Trump.
Maybe don’t stop posting but focus on making one good post a day and trying to generate good discussion?
Quality over quantity I think is the message.
I make some posts and reply when applicable.
So you’re spamming forums so “left” we have literally tankies around here.
Do you think we’re not convinced already? Why not do this stuff around places that cater to American conservatives?
Whatever related post come up on my All page are fair game.
No, only ones where it’s on-topic.
You’re more inclined to have people start disregarding the notion because of oversaturation of the sentiment. Much like how if someone repeats a word enough it starts to lose meaning.
I’m on your side. I want those involved to be incarcerated and removed from polite society. The tactic your employing is something Trump would do to trivialize the matter.
A better use for your time would be addressing MAGA cultists. Which is going to be hard to find here.
good sentiment, but spam is spam. no matter what you are saying if you have the most comments on an entire instance from saying it its spam.
on an entire instance
on all of Lemmy
When Trump logs into his Lemmy account he’s going to be so owned.
Maybe go spam it on conservative Facebook groups or something. Everyone here already agrees with you. You are accomplishing nothing.
In what world do you think what you’re doing doesn’t count as spam
“B-but it’s really important!” doesn’t make it not spam. Stop acting like a victim for being told to stop spamming.
It’s not.
Can you explain in what way it is not spam?
It’s a relevant comment on posts that include Trump. I’m not AI, nor a bot. They’re legit comments. Just because people don’t like the frequency doesn’t make it less important and it’s not spam.
But it’s the exact same comment on so many posts. It doesn’t need to be a bot or AI doing the posting for it to be spam.
I understand you feel it’s relevant and important, but what you are doing is pretty much the definition of spamming.
Yet, it’s not.
I mean, you can say that, but without a clear line of argument explaining why that’s the case, I remain unconvinced.
Your opinion is irrelevant. If you’re a mod and want to ban me from your groups, so be it.
I’m not against banning this manchild from petulantly spamming and gleefully “debating” with infantile retorts —though none of us actually believe he’ll not just create a new account to start again.
edit: I’m blocking his dumbass from my feed, at the very least. Please, mods, take it further. Your communities rely on wiser heads to prevail.
do you know what spamming means?
Meaningless messages posted on irrelevant subject matter.
This is not Spam.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
At least keep it in relevant context to the post, don’t outright copypaste the same sentence. What you’re doing is not different from spam when you post it to all posts that are about Trump.
I agree with the message too, but the mod is right.
It is related to Trump posts.
I don’t blast it on a Sushi post.
Did you make it relevant to the post, or are you just spamming the exact same contextless message across multiple threads?
I think whether it qualifies as spam or not, is irrelevant. It’s semantics. What matters is whether or not it bothers people using the site. It doesn’t bother me, and I agree with the feeling. So please go ahead as far as I’m concerned.
On a different note : so much about Trump, and so little about releasing Luigi ! yet it must be shouted too ! lest he falls into forgettance.
Release Luigi and the Trump-Epstein files !
Release Luigi!
