I don’t want to hide bot accounts, I want spam bots to be taken down so I can still enjoy decent bots.

I mean, you kind of just have to deal then, since that's not something that can be programmed in. Your definition of "decent bots" for example, might wildly vary from someone else's definition

I guess the easy individual solution is to block those specific repost bot accounts.

But yes, they suck.

Yeah, that’s the solution. It just fucks over new users who don’t know to block all the spam.
