There seems to be a wave of accounts from this instance spamming/brigading comments everywhere. I know one of them @cobson has been spamming already. But now there is another spamming pictures of checks notes nikocado avocado’s anus everywhere. soot@lemmy.blahaj.zone (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.
Well that’s odd - if you are posting faster than once per minute (for example) then you are likely up to no good. Set much higher than that and it’s a pointless feature.
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
Hey im one of the programming.dev admins, when the accounts are dealt with on the blahaj side ill be refederating but this just prevents the users on p.d from seeing new spam accounts that may pop up for now since you guys dont have application requests to filter
Yea something about Soyjak.net or something, there’s a few accounts I’ve seen with complete gibberish, then one with NikoAvocado’s spread asshole and a decapitated black child… Saw it on a Lemmy.world post too
I presume the intention is to get Blahaj.zone defederated, at least temporarily. I’m definitely monitoring the situation.
Also best not link to the account in your main post as it may get unintentionally clicked but, more importantly, the system thinks it’s a cross-post so doesn’t list it as a separate post.
