Speaking after a meeting with Bavaria’s state Cabinet atop the Zugspitze mountain, Germany’s highest peak, Merz said that continuing with the 15% minimum tax in Europe would put the continent’s economy at a disadvantage.

    Enlighten me, fellow community members: This appears to be just some kind of recently created repost-bot that automatically and immediately links articles - is this considered spam around here and should be reported or is this desired behavior?

      Op was on lemm.ee before moving, his contributions aren’t a recent thing. If he would be what you call a repost-bot the links would likely be from more random low-quality sources and also wouldn’t be neatly posted to the most relevant community.

        Ah, I see - do you just happen to know them or is there a way to check for this kind of thing?

        I might be wrong about the nature of the account, that’s why I’m asking after all, but I wouldn’t agree with that definition at all.
        What I see here is an account with 264 Posts (8 per day!) and a mere 3 Comments and that just doesn’t look like a person interested in engaging with other persons but like an automatism to deliberately pump content into communities - which in turn rings my alarm bells.

          do you just happen to know them

          I recognise the name, because of all the posts.

          is there a way to check for this kind of thing?

          Not sure how but since he posted on other instances i guess those posts are still up.

          Glad you do, might be the only way to find out what others think

          doesn’t look like a person interested in engaging with other persons

          I agree it doesnt seem he is interested in engaging with other persons. Which means he could be an automated bot, and i’m not saying he couldn’t be. I am saying i dont think he is, because of the quality of his posts. Both the content is good and it’s placed well. But i can’t give you a definite answer unfortunately.
