Is it just me has there been a lot of Spam and abuse on Lemmy lately?

It happens. A very highly intelligent user will occasionally post something in a lot of communities and gets a rise out of downvotes, annoyed comments, and blocks. It's annoying but that is often the nature of the internet. Report, block, and move on.
It's only the very highly intelligent users who do this. So it doesn't happen a lot.
Don't engage with anybody you don't know well on DMs. And if some other very highly intelligent person goes to the effort of sending you abuse via DM, take pride that you really got under their skin. Ignore it if you can.
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)

Friend, with all due respect, there are some people here who belong in a hospital. Mental illness.
That all internet and social media

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?
I only had a DM once but never happened again,, maybe a troll targeted you?
The dm, btw

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
You forgot the /s

Try piefed, one of its main draws is that it has more tools to deal with spam

Nope, haven't noticed. I do see a lot of spam removed whenever I look at the mod log though. Some level of spam is always to be expected.

This seems to be an unpopular opinion but i personally had someone block me for presumably being too friendly and sincere, after an initial comment where i had agreed with them and defended their downvoted comment.
A second person blocked me after i pointed out that the person they where calling ai/a bot is in fact a well loved moderator of the community they tried to be a part of and they where simply misreading the room.
I don’t really mind that people remove themselves but it does worry me that tolerance of others have gotten so low that ideologically similar people will label each other enemies based on very basic misunderstandings of topics they agree about.

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.

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.

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.

A sizeable chunk of us were banned from Reddit. I’m convinced some of those bans were justified.
