It’s just too bad. They are spamming from so many different instances. I’m assuming ones with open registration turned on. So they can’t ban in bulk. Also why is it just this community getting hit like this?

Downvote, Report it, and move on. Not much can be done from the user side.

Admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com here and yeah i can confirm it’s from instances with open registration. Also most of them are smaller instances that aren’t that well maintained and will probably feel the consequence by being blocked by other instances…
And kbin.social 🤦

I’m glad I only have the 4 users lol easy to admin. Easy to maintain lol

12,363 and counting for us lol… it’s stressful sometimes but i am super happy with our community. Most reports actually are about others content interestingly enough

I might just be really tired and feeling dense this morning, but what do you mean about kbin.social?
RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
No offense to our brothers and sisters in the fediverse, but kbin.social surely has a lot of spam coming out… it’s a very popular instance and that attracts a lot of dickheads.

Sole Dev/moderator doesnt want a team but has some health issues presumably, so definitely can’t manage it themselves. This is just the aftermath of a couple months of that

It’s not just this community, or even just Lemmy… Mastodon and other Federation services all struggling with the same issue at the moment
8565@lemmy.techtriage.guru 11 months ago
Yeah I’m seeing that now. It just started here for me

It’s a shitty situation that’s causing mods and users alike a lot of frustration and might be a bit before it’s sorted.
Unfortunately I think this is something that will need to be dealt with Federation wide before it’s under control… But even then it’ll still add a lot of extra ongoing work to the mods of instances and communities just to clean up anything that gets through

it’s not just this community getting hit.
it’s mostly !asklemmy@lemmy.ml, !asklemmy@lemmy.world, !opensource@lemmy.ml and !selfhosted@lemmy.world, though some of the latest spam also started arriving in !warframe@dormi.zone

Bloco user as well
Im blocking every single piece of shit spamming
Rooki@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yup, report, block. Contact admins if possible ( or warn others in the Defense HQ Matrix channel )
Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
I am as well but it looks like it’s new accounts every time and they make just a single post, the spam post
At least this time the spam is just an image link to some random discord server and not CSAM
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
That’s kind of fruitless though, it seems like every post is a different account. They can make an unlimited number of them.
8565@lemmy.techtriage.guru 11 months ago
And not just a different user but, a different Instance.
