🐛 BUG: Same contented posted to multiple squads appears multiple times
What went wrong? 🤔
With the introduction of squads, a spam like behavior emerged. People figured to post the sane content across multiple squads for broader reach. But every user who has not blocked all squads, sees all the same content over and over.

Hi @nerdalytics,
We're trying to fight this spam behavior. We have several ideas, hopefully we can address it soon
I noticed this, too. It kinda makes me hate squads and especially the shift to them being "sources." To me, I'd rather not see any squad posts in my feed unless I'm a member. Then have a list of squads I can search by name, tag, content, etc. and join them if I want.
Edit: I just found the switch to remove squads from my feed. Not sure when that was added, but I've now turned them off, so you can mostly ignore this comment. 😁
We know squads are still opinionated, hence we added the switch. Glad it's useful.
We implemented a mechanism to avoid spamming duplicate shared posts on the feed, freeform is still a hassle for us. We need to fix it. I really hope squads will be so good you will turn it back on.
Any other issues you experience other than the spam?
