I am asking because I don't want to participate in a spam farm.

I noticed this with 2 accounts:

  • Townflex, @stermy4u@lemmy.world ;
  • The CyberSec Guru, @UnLocoPoco@lemmy.world .

Why is no one acting pro-actively, to prevent the platform from turning bad? Why did no mod or admin notice this?

This happens all the time. They fly under the radar for a moment until someone notices them. Then their accounts get banned.

Stermy4u was banned for promoting their AI plagiarism site.

Have you reported the other user? It's way less likely anyone will notice if they're not reported. If you report a post make sure to say that the user is a spammer so mods/admins will look at account activity.
