ZippyBot should be blockable (lemmy.zip)

I keep seeing ZippyBot post articles in incorrect communities just because a website is named poorly. Most recent example is a post in 'gaming' that's about a TV series, and not even about a game adaptation, but about t-shirts.

I went to go and block ZippySlop and wouldn't you know it? You can't ban 'admins.' ZippySlop posts to a wide array of communities that I do otherwise like, and the only other option besides blocking Zippy is to block all of those respective communities.

As that would be time consuming and detrimental to engagement of topics, why can't I block ZippyBot. Before anyone sneers 'cuz itz a admin bruh,' Why is a bot even an admin anyway?!

I would recommend bringing this up with the lemmy.zip admins.

Only thing I can suggest, if you're willing to use a different client, is to try their Tesseract UI instance (https://t.lemmy.zip/). You can at least filter the Zippybot account so its posts are minimized. Find a post from it, click its username, and then "Filter User..."

The upcoming release has much more powerful filtering options (e.g. you can completely hide zippybot, among other capabilities) but it's not generally available yet. Hoping to have it released "soon".
