  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 🤦

      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 ⁨4⁩ ⁨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.

        That sucks to hear. Back when I migrated here, I chose Kbin just simply because the interface suited me better. Frustrating when aholes ruin a good thing.

      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

        There is a team, not a sole dev.

        I'm not saying everything is roses and rainbows, but this is FUD messaging being spread openly by the mbin dev team.

  It’s not just this community, or even just Lemmy… Mastodon and other Federation services all struggling with the same issue at the moment

    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

        I agree. Its a systemic issue. I‘ve stepped up as a mod for !opensource@lemmy.ml to combat this. Feel free to step up in other communities to help meanwhile.

        The solution will probably be reputation/timelimit based or maybe federating ip bans. Bans already federate I think. At least my instance has a ton of names on the banlist although I havent banned as many people.

  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
