Problems with spam accounts from lemmy.blahaj.zone (kbin.social)

Over the last few days, there's been an increasing problem with spam accounts from lemmy.blahaj.zone. It seems like they're working on addressing this issue, at least in a one-at-a-time fashion, but it's clear that they have not been able to proactively prevent the problem yet.

Of specific note, these accounts are posting links to offensive images. kbin.social doesn't display these images inline (at least not for me), which is nice, but the fact that they're being posted anywhere feels like a liability concern for kbin.social could be raised.

I don't pretend to know what can or should be done to address this. I just wanted to bring it up, because @ernest should know about it.

Yeah pretty solid recommendations. Sure they’d need some specific tuning but this kinda stuff seems very common sense.
