Hi, I’m an admin at fanaticus.social. Sorry for the inconvenience! Game bots are an important way for us sports fans to interact with one another during games but I understand how annoying they can be if you don’t care about the sport.
Here's a list of the communities that currently have a game bots running:
[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
If you're comfortable with coding, there's an API endpoint to block a community. I threw together a little python script that would block all the above (I think 🙂).
from plemmy import LemmyHttp
# must include protocol e.g. https://lemmy.world
pl = LemmyHttp("INSTANCE_NAME_HERE")
username = "USERNAME_HERE"
password = "PASSWORD_HERE"
pl.login(username, password)
fanaticus_communities = [
"[email protected]",
"[email protected]",
"[email protected]",
"[email protected]",
"[email protected]",
"[email protected]",

]
for comm in fanaticus_communities:
print("Getting community: ", comm)
commRes = pl.get_community(name=comm).json()
if commRes and commRes['community_view']:
commId = commRes['community_view']['community']['id']
print("Blocking community: ", comm, " communityId: ", commId)
pl.block_community(True, commId)
print("Successfully blocked community: ", comm)
else:
print("Failed to find community: ", comm)
In the future, we are planning on adding the game bots for the other major sports as well (they’re not in season now) but hopefully that will be a nice jumping off point for you.
I’m sure trying! Content is king though so that’s what we’re focusing on with the game bots.
