One thing I've noticed by people who use apps to crosspost to a bunch of services; most of them don't seem to actively participate *here*, they're just like/boost-farming.
Do you *enjoy* having that type of user in your feed?

IMO, it doesn't take anything away from the platform. The same people wouldn't engage here anyway. This way, I can choose to get the content here or just ignore.
I also think that if they start to get some signs of engagement here, maybe they change theirmind and start actually engaging here.
So I see it as positive, but on the other hand, I rarely follow accounts like that.
