[META]: ban @szmer.info? (lemmy.sdf.org)

It seems this community is being targeted by ad bots. I see all of them come from a @szmer.info instance (or?). Maybe it should be banned?

Anything other than the custom emoji one? We're one of the oldest instances, running with limited resources and update when we either have the time and energy for that, or when we have to.

As for spam: we block spam accounts from other instances before their own mods nearly daily, including from the biggest ones. Chill.
