This is obviously an attack on a specific Lemmy instance that just so happens to be transgender - centric.

Nah they're hitting a lot of places. Just some hatefilled loser.

Replying just to say that I agree with this. I’m in queer Discord servers with an order of magnitude less users who have similar questionnaires. The one caveat is that those servers have moderators, as well as admins, going over those answers. I think Lemmy needs to add an ‘Instance Moderator’ role that’s able to deal with things like this without having backend access.

See my previous answer. Anything short of an interview wouldn't work here.

These accounts are being manually registered. Their goal isn't mass registration to spam multiple places, but a few targeted registrations that then spam other instances and get us defederated. They are quite happy to answer questions and do whatever needed to slip through the cracks.

Even manual account approval won't stop them.

What should be limiting their impact is the rate limit set in the Lemmy control panel, but it's not working.

This was my thoughts too, yea.

why has this soot jackass not been banned yet?

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 years ago

He just was.

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

As someone from Blahaj zone, yeah. We have been under attack for a while. It sucks

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Smells like something lemmy world admins would do... Or Hexbear. Fuck em both.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You can have your qualms with the LW or Hexbear admins, but don't be silly. The respective server managers have better things to contend to than to spam or troll on other instances.

*E: added a "to" for clarity

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah these former reddit mods totally have better things to do... Man lemmy world mod antik is literally stalking me and gets schizophrenia because of it...

I had a look at this thread, not sure you're making a good case by mentioning it

[–] Ategon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

This is none of the lemmy admins and none of the lemmy admins would do this sort of thing, its from one user of an imageboard that got banned from 4chan (imageboard gets linked in the posts)

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Antik is a lemmy admin. https://lemmy.world/comment/5138651

Idk what you got linked to but here is another one. Literally the Lemmy.world admin.

[–] Ategon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Im referring to the nsfw/nsfl spam posting that you said an admin did

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 1 points 2 years ago

Ah... Nah. Probably one of them. As if reddit mods couldn't open 4chan

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

yeah saw a couple of em
