Can we do something about propaganda posting? (Soferman) (lemmy.ml)

Soferman seems to be flooding this sub with pro-western news articles. Taken en aggregate, I see it as propaganda and I think this violates the "No Propaganda" rule. I'd like to appeal to the mods to make a review.

For example: Soferman shares articles from VOA, which is US state sponsored propaganda. This, plus all of his other articles that seem to be focused on anti-russian or anti-chinese messaging with a few general interest stories sprinkled in, paints the picture of someone trying to influence users to form a specific opinion. It really feels like propaganda.

Maybe we can impose a limit to the amount of topics any one user can post per day?

Well, all news outlets are the propaganda of some government or organization, i think it wouldn't be fair to do that. My only issue is I see this and /c/china becoming a socdem hive were they post their sinophobic shit.

Edit: oh, I've seen all the posts, that's a fucking lot of spam tbh, even if it was stuff I wanted to read.
