FIGHT!

The main issue for small subs can be solved with pinned threads.

The whole, where do I go to eat this here or what restaurant is good for this food or who does this kind of work locally or look at what I ate at so and so restaurant and you probably can imagine the theme here. Put into one post and ban whoever advertises. No need to repost pinned threads.

FINNISH HYMN

I think negative interaction is a good start. There's a reason people get their posts deleted, shadow banned, or just banned.

    Pinned threads solve for perpetual topics within (specific) communities sure, but the main area where too many repost bots will do the most harm if left unchecked is when cruising all or local. People who sort by new are the lifeblood of a feed's (federated) community, and if there's not enough of them to boost the most valuable signals, the community won't grow and might even shrink.
