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

muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works

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

asrielthewanderer@lemmy.ml

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!

Diva (she/her)

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

goferking (he/him)

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

Some women wanted to donate me her retirement savings so I open a homeless shelter in Germany but that's it.

You will never catch me!

pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip

in lemmy.today account bio is

Parked account to deter impersonation and abuse on an Open-signups instance.

Please give some context about this @Buelldozer@lemmy.today

What's the relation with this account @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Disclamer: There is many old account with same name but I just list the new ones

Draconic NEO

I created it a while back because I thought having the username occupied would prevent this sort of thing from happening. I was more naive back then and didn't think someone would be pathetic enough to use misspellings and lookalikes to get around that .

Draconic NEO

My legit accounts are as follows:

Yes I know this is excessive and I created many of them either when I was less sure of the Fediverse or because I wanted some activity separation in who I follow or communities I'm part of. And also because of Federation issues as well. I also was kind of hoping Lemmy would have something in the future where accounts like this can be merged into a single nomadic account. I had heard of something like that but I can't find it now

Wow... that... I have no words for that. That is beyond despicable. I had a feeling things were bad when I saw the governance thread but that's way way worse than I thought.
