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

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@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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 .

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

[astertheprince@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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.

[emopunker@feddit.org]

Going through all the reports is a pain in the ass today.

[emopunker@feddit.org]

No I didn't, though. There is legitimately someone who has been doing this stuff for at least eight months now and I originally thought it was another antiyanks attack, but other admins told me that transphobia is untypical of antiyanks.

Also if you can link the account, I would gladly ban it at least from Feddit.

[emopunker@feddit.org]

No. I said I had the feeling that the accounts could be associated with each other. Also I never contacted Aster or any of the others in the screenshot. There is a troll trying to get both at me and at other users and trying to fan the flames.

[pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip]

Thanks for information, sorry for this pathetic person. You didn't deserve this.

Lemmy instance admins please ban all other @Draconic_NEO @Draconic_NE0 @Draconic_MEO @Draconic_ME0 accounts in you instance

[jubilantjaguar@lemmy.world]

Now that is some enthusiasm for the fediverse.

[sundaymidnight@lemmy.world]

maybe I don't express it well, but the concept is right... you can't sell me the bottled intolerance like superiority

[comfy@lemmy.ml]

If you have a bit of time, please collect evidence of when that targeting and harassment happens. I've already seen a few accounts using low-quality /c/MoG posts to try and demonize .ml, lemmygrad and hexbear so it's useful to have a post or posts to point to showing that it's a harassment circlejerk, not the credible spectators they pretend to be.

[xanthrax@lemmy.world]

Oh, they're 10 and learned reddit terms.

[whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world]

Not spam per se, but there does seem to be a sharp uptick in brand new accounts making tons of posts and getting banned. It seems every day I see numerous posts made by users that are already banned by whatever community they posted in (by the time I see them.) Mods must be working overtime.
