In this thread: User ThuleanPerspective apparently losing their fucking minds and then having their entire account comment history removed. I've never been so intrigued to know what crazy nonsense this person posts.

Update: Looked closer at their history. Managed to comment in dozens of threads per minute. Likely a bot that got removed. That's more boring than I'd hoped.

They did the exact same thing with a different account yesterday. I'm guessing this is going to be a thing for a while.

The annoying thing is it’s just one federated server with bot accounts. Wish with enough use or mod votes something we could automatically defederate

I use Boost and can just filter out any posts and comments from any specific instance. Really nice actually

Lemmy can do this natively on instances running 0.19.0 or above, too.

Ive seen those kind of posts all the way back to the reddit Exodus. No idea what their motives are even.

If you’re curious as to the actual content of their spam posts, I actually saw some of them (yesterday) (on a different post) (from one of their alt accounts) (they have several now)

It’s essentially a wall of gibberish text, all caps, followed by what appears to be series of ai-generated images of a naked Simpsons character. Didn’t examine it too closely as it was NSFW

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I saw that this morning and downvoted it. Fuck off, spammers.

It also features George Floyd getting choked by booty cheeks and the cop who murdered him doing a Fortnite dance.

[–] Carnelian 13 points 10 months ago

Wow, that’s pretty vile. Seems like the mods/admins are pretty on top of it at this point, I’m seeing the occasional ocean of deleted comments from different alts

[–] acetanilide 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The fact that that image exists at all (aside from the obviously horrifying murder)...like someone learned about the murder, thought it up, and then created it. And then shared it. Who does that??

[–] chatokun 16 points 10 months ago

Racists, and or people who don't care about people and want to revel in it. For some people, doing such vile things gets them off.

That was Varg Vikernes's YouTube name before he got banned. Not sure the connection between a Simpson's spam bot and a racist/murderer/arsonist black metal musician but kind of interesting.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Such a bummer that Varg is such a loser. He pioneered so much cool shit for the metal scene. :(

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

The spam was George Floyd getting murdered by a Simpson cop's dump truck. Just some racist loser with a grudge and some bots.

It's someone using macros to fuck with every comment section.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

I just saw them on a different post and was confused. Thanks for commenting about jt
