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:!tampabayrays !orioles !nyyankees !torontobluejays !redsox !minnesotatwins !clevelandguardians !whitesox !motorcitykitties !kcroyals !texasrangers !astros !angelsbaseball !mariners !oaklandathletics !braves !miamimarlins !phillies !newyorkmets !nationals !buccos !brewers !reds !chicubs !cardinals !azdiamondbacks !sfgiants !dodgers !padres !coloradorockies

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]”, “[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]”, ] 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.
