This shit is getting out of hand. I wouldnt care if we defederated from everyone at this point. No-one is vetting their users and they let them upload images on 1sec old account.
You must log in or register to comment.
How about no? You’re just making it a worse experience for everyone like that, if you dislike someone’s posting habits just block them.

Everyone already does that 👌 but it’s not that great against spam users…
A spammer bot was repeatedly registering accounts on Blahaj and spamming nsfl memes in comment sections (apparently also gore and porn as mentioned by other users elsewhere). I saw & blocked 3 separate accounts before kinda just calling it quits taking a break from the app
Saw another thread on another instance about this too https://programming.dev/post/6749653
Then complain to the owners of the instance, defederation should only be the last option. Besides, according to your link the owner already solved the problem, so even less reason to do so.

I would usually agree here, however if you’re the admin of an instance or a mod you’re going to quickly get tired of getting gore posts reported to you which originate from another instance.
A temporary defederation, as done by the admin in the link posted, IMO is the most effective solution right now, until Lemmy gets more mod tools to handle these edge cases in a more ideal way

The admin there re-federated with Blahaj after the issue was resolved 👍
Edit: to clarify, temporary defederation is only being mentioned because AFAIK the instance admin was offline at the time, and couldn’t restrict their registrations or ban the multiple spam bot accounts
I feel like the amount of content that would cut out wouldn’t be worth it for occasional issue
Lemmy.blahaj.zone needs to fix that. The spam boy going around right now is pretty bad
Blocked that instance in my client months ago.
reporting is useless if they can just make a new account and re-post it.
