There seems to be a wave of accounts from this instance spamming/brigading comments everywhere. I know one of them @cobson@lemmy.blahaj.zone 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.

    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.

      Ive temporarily defederated programming.dev from blahaj until the spam wave is sorted and deleted all the comments so we shouldnt get any more of them

      When the accounts are dealt with im refederating

      Makes sense

      The spam bot accounts are posting some terrible stuff, everywhere, incredibly fast

      I’d hate to be a mod today with all the crap that they’re posting

        Surprises me that Lemmy doesn’t have such moderation tools yet, considering how much longer it exist compared to kbin.

          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

      @blahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone, not sure if you’ve already reached out to them, or what protocol is for these things

        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

        Edit: refederated

    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

    Hopefully we can get this sorted quickly, there’s so many popping up and spamming all kinds of terrible stuff and word salad

    Most appear to be linking some sort of soy jack party?
