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

[ageedizzle@piefed.ca]

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

[skavau@piefed.social]

At least they don’t have shit like this there. Spam like this gets squashed quickly there.

lol

[frongt@lemmy.zip]

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.

[webghost0101@sopuli.xyz]

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.

[zephorah@discuss.online]

No. I blocked all the anime, furry, porn, and any aggressive subs that consistently read like screaming. If that matters, maybe do the same.

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

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

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

this is hilarious.

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

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.

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

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.

[orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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

[astertheprince@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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

[peter_arbeitslos@feddit.org]

Nothing since Nicole for me.

[muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works]

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

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

yeah it was just a joke comment.

[flax_vert@feddit.uk]

That's quite funny

[asrielthewanderer@lemmy.ml]

Thank you, will look into that.

[zoomboingding@lemmy.world]

We're the internet's Australia

[atrielienz@lemmy.world]

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.

[michael@piefed.chrisco.me]

Same. Its been pretty great!

[diva@lemmy.ml]

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.
