For example (NSFW/NSFL) https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/4804997 or https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/4795872
this might be an attempt to get blahaj defederated. One of them does not seem to be too fond of trans people. Ex 2: 4805706
This is obviously an attack on a specific Lemmy instance that just so happens to be transgender - centric.
Nah they’re hitting a lot of places. Just some hatefilled loser.
Yeah, they’re posting a lot of places, but all the accounts are registered at blahaj. The end result will be instances defederating from blahaj.
create an trap instance to try to get them making accounts there, mabye spam the email used too.
A trap instance you say….
[I got a bot to automatically delete all my comments over 1 month old so you can’t see this comment anymore]
Replying just to say that I agree with this. I’m in queer Discord servers with an order of magnitude less users who have similar questionnaires. The one caveat is that those servers have moderators, as well as admins, going over those answers. I think Lemmy needs to add an ‘Instance Moderator’ role that’s able to deal with things like this without having backend access.
See my previous answer. Anything short of an interview wouldn’t work here.
These accounts are being manually registered. Their goal isn’t mass registration to spam multiple places, but a few targeted registrations that then spam other instances and get us defederated. They are quite happy to answer questions and do whatever needed to slip through the cracks.
Even manual account approval won’t stop them.
What should be limiting their impact is the rate limit set in the Lemmy control panel, but it’s not working.
This was my thoughts too, yea.
As someone from Blahaj zone, yeah. We have been under attack for a while. It sucks
why has this soot jackass not been banned yet?
He just was.
Was that the bot who posted word salad links? I reported them multiple times.
Do I even want to know what the image links were? I’m old enough to know better than to click on stuff like that.
It was as bad as you’re thinking. Honestly, it’s not worth knowing.
I believe someone said it was Nickocado Avocado’s spread asshole, so nothing super insane. Eyeblech had so much worse stuff RIP
yeah saw a couple of em
