There are reports of spam coming from specific users on lemmy.blahaj.zone. I stumbled across some very unpleasant NSFL content on an unrelated post. I wouldn’t reccomend it, but you could check [email protected]’s profile for an example if it hasn’t been taken down yet.
It may be worth temporarily blocking that instance until they get a handle on the situation.
Someone seems to be doing a bunch of soam attacks like this. I saw one this morning, albeit much more tame, were they just posted random words with a soyjack. I blocked the soot account, but the i can still the comments in threads.
Been getting a lot of that type of spam from Hexbear ever since they were federated to my home instance a few months ago. Not sure if it’s ALL coming out of them but the vast majority that I’ve seen has been.
That’s more brigading than anything, which I guess still counts as spamming but is more coordinated and not by bots.
That’s just hexbear.
I’ve learned not to kick hornets nests
I really wonder why kbin has still not defederated from Hexbear yet…
Probably for the same reason we haven’t here.
I’m not sure what that reason is but if I were to venture a guess it’s that the instance isn’t necessarily an issue, just a lot of the users that like to brigade and/or start shit
what is an soam attack if I may ask
spam
lol that makes sense! Im so used to not knowing things about computer related topics that I made a wrong assumption, my bad
I work with computers full time and I also assumed it was a new acronym:). Thanks for being the brave one to ask.
