Over 70 firefighters and 38 fire trucks are on the scene of the ongoing blaze at the Temple Court Apartments, according to Miami Fire Rescue.

A massive three-alarm fire broke out at a Miami apartment building Monday morning and an employee of the building was found shot at the scene, officials said.

The fire at the Temple Court Apartments erupted at around 8:15 a.m. on the third floor and is still ongoing, Miami Fire Rescue said a little after noon.

"On arrival, multiple residents were rescued and evacuated," Miami Fire Rescue said in post on X. Some were rescued from their apartments and others from their balconies.

I thought I'd give a quick update on the efforts to combat the spam wave.

Clearly someone wants to make Lemmy a less appealing place to be. It's a deliberate attempt to spoil the good thing that we have going here. l'll leave it up to you to contemplate the motives and timing of this attack on the fediverse.

So what are the Mods doing, and what can you do to help?

The most obvious one is that we are deleting the spam as soon as it is seen. We are checking more often, but as volunteers we can't be on Lemmy 24/7. We also have some automated checking going on. This is working fairly well, but occasionally some legitimate posts are being removed. These get restored eventually, but sometimes it can take a while for this to be actioned. If this happens to you, please be patient.

As users, we can help out by reporting spam posts and by posting quality content. Contributing to our community is the best way to make sure that it remains a safe, interesting and thought-provoking place.
