New spam wave? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

There seems to be a wave of accounts from this instance spamming/brigading comments everywhere. I know one of them @[email protected] has been spamming already. But now there is another spamming pictures of checks notes nikocado avocado's anus everywhere. [email protected] (check profile and comment history at your own risk). Somebody seems to be raiding this instance and many others through different accounts so i just wanted to warn you all.

Makes sense

The spam bot accounts are posting some terrible stuff, everywhere, incredibly fast

I'd hate to be a mod today with all the crap that they're posting

Surprises me that Lemmy doesn't have such moderation tools yet, considering how much longer it exist compared to kbin.

Admins can deal with it on their own instances very easily with 1 button that purges all content but for it to federate everywhere the source of the account or where the comments are posted needs to deal with it

e.g. I can purge all of the comments locally from programming.dev using one button which will get the ones posted on programming.dev for other instances and posted on other instances for only p.d users and then ban them so they dont post anymore. But for all instances to have that done blahaj needs to do it. Anything other than that would mean moderation overreach with other instances where someone on a 1 person instance can ban people that shouldnt be banned and it federates
