Does blocking not work? I’m not the biggest fan of repost bots myself, but they exist for a specific purpose. There are times when you have to take efforts to curate your own experience, also.
Yeah, that’s true. Thinking about it more ‘just block them’ only really works if they aren’t most of the platform. I make most of my posts to encourage discussion, and I don’t see repost bots doing much to that end.

Not when they create new accounts constantly.
Oh yeah, no, that shouldn’t happen.
Are they? I’ve been seeing that account posting for quite a while.
It’s only a month old.
Feels more like 5 weeks.
I mean… 1 or 2 new accounts to block every month or so is hardly onerous. It’s not like there’s a new one every day. I don’t get the vocal hate.
They actively discourage new users, and engagement.
