Bots spamming nonsense comments

It started yesterday. Immediately after posting, some account started commenting nonsense and the same images repeatedly, so I banned it. Today the same thing is happening, but it’s a different account. Anyone else have this happen?

otter,

I banned it from a few communities and I’ve been removing what people report. My guess is that it’s commenting on random new posts

There might be a way to mass remove the content as an admin?

yes, I’ve banned it and removed all it’s content.

otter,

Thank you!

otter,

Another one, the blahaj main community has a discussion up about the spam bots. I’d recommend not looking through this account if you can avoid it

soot@lemmy.blahaj.zone

We could maybe defederate temporarily and refederate once the admin is back?
