Spam posts
So what can we do to combat this Spam posting as a community? Anyone have any ideas?

Downvote, Report it, and move on. Not much can be done from the user side.
-
Block user as well
Im blocking every single piece of shit spamming
-
Yup, report, block. Contact admins if possible ( or warn others in the Defense HQ Matrix channel )
-
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
-
That's kind of fruitless though, it seems like every post is a different account. They can make an unlimited number of them.

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?
-
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 🤦

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