Is it just me has there been a lot of Spam and abuse on Lemmy lately?
-
Recently one of the posts I made got a porn spam comment and I also saw a lot of porn spam in my instance's communites. Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.
Has anyone else experienced anything like that lately or is it just me?
No. I blocked all the anime, furry, porn, and any aggressive subs that consistently read like screaming. If that matters, maybe do the same.

No but maybe you tell me where all this porn spam is active so I can stay away from it.

this is hilarious.

That all internet and social media
yeah I think that is a big thing people have to keep in mind with the internet. I try my best to love you all but I don't make decisions with what I "learn" from hanging it out internet spaces. I sometimes laugh at myself when I get to upset by something.

in Fediverse, the trolls are the reporters, blockers, indignant ones...
"oh, you talked with ChatGPT" BLOCK
"oh, you use cryptos" BLOCK
"oh, you said that in left wing there are thieves" BLOCK
"oh, you don't know what is queer" BLOCK
(they said in from sites hosted in Google Cloud)
oooh. im a big block proponent so you know if you can't be a troll you can be a troll supporter. oh um. mmmm. I guess that only works with athletics.

Same. A new one sneaks up on me like Aquaman sometimes, but I kill it with fire.

It came from an instance called chatgptjailbreak.tech. Seems like my instance defederated them.

Nothing since Nicole for me.

Friend, with all due respect, there are some people here who belong in a hospital. Mental illness.
A sizeable chunk of us were banned from Reddit. I’m convinced some of those bans were justified.

yeah it was just a joke comment.

That's quite funny

Try piefed, one of its main draws is that it has more tools to deal with spam
Thank you, will look into that.

I think this may depend on the instance you're on. The "trans" spam bot hit up my sister's account but she's on fedia/mbin. I haven't noticed the other abuses per se to be like. Rampant or anything.
But I also don't check DM's.
-
Same. Its been pretty great!

I saw it earlier. Also got spammed by an asshole telling me to kill myself. Lemmy is going to shit these days. I'm thinking about going back to Reddit, or digg. At least they don't have shit like this there. Spam like this gets squashed quickly there. /s
just as an FYI, it looks like you've been getting targted for abuse by a feddit.org admin, saying you're the same person for upvoting the thread about feddit.org being zionist
edit, as the admin in question replied to me and is banned, so I can't respond otherwise:
@Emopunker@feddit.org, the MeanwhileonGrad comm is a cesspool, you posted there in a thread complaining about your instance getting defederated for its rampant zionism. You used your ability as an admin to view the votes on that thread and complained about users who upvoted the thread.
"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
They then started getting DM harassment, along with other people who have been vocally anti-zionist lately.
Nobody said it's literally you doing it, however it is you who are the one fanning the flames.

Whenever I’m in too deep in an online argument I’m comforted by the wise words of one Rick Sanchez:
“Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”

Im not sure about the porn spam, but the abusive dm is probably from the Feddit.org admin acussing you of being an astrosurfer https://lemmy.zip/post/58901499/24578452 @Astertheprince@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Exhibit what 200 of why that comm shouldn't be used by anyone and commentors there are immediately suspicious
