There’s a user on lemm.ee who has been making hundreds of communities over the last few days, but it seems like a flag-planting operation more than anything else. It would be impossible for one person to moderate all of these communities, and they have zero post or comment history.

Is this a bot, or a person with way too much time on their hands? Regardless, is there a way to, like, address this? Or is that a dead-end?

    You can tell an admin about it. But it would be ultimately up to the admin on whether action is taken.

    Also, sidenote for anyone reading this, most lemmy instance modlogs are publicly readable. You can see what actions your moderators are taking and this goes a huge step towards keeping mods accountable. It also gives you a greater appreciation for the absolutely fantastic mods that have to sift through all the garbage they take out. Its quite eye opening. A thankless job, and I thank the current mods for doing it.
