Defederation of eviltoast.org (self.announcements)

Hey all -

Just a quick announcement that we're currently not federating with eviltoast.org - it seems to be the base of the spam bots we've seen recently. I don't think the site administration teams have anything to do with the spam however they also seem to be absent, and are not doing anything to combat it. Until such time that they are actively cleaning up their spam issue they will remain defederated. I'm pretty lax about our federation, but this has been a persistent issue (See rule 9). I'm sure the spammer will probably find another host at some point though.

Thanks for being a member of TheLemmy.Club

Edit: it looks like thier admins have cleaned it up. Removing for now.

The answer is "for the lulz"

But it's not even funny...

Like subjectively, not funny. I mean unless you're a toddler still laughing at peanutbutterjellytime...

Except for the fact that your reactions are exactly what a troll doing shit like this is looking for. They want to get a rise out of you. And what do you do? You rant about "normality", "decency" instead of ignoring lol

I dunno I feel like I'm handling it exactly as a rational person would; confused but otherwise unphased. If you live in today's times and let random bullshit get the better of you, you probably deserve it.

Ironically you seem to be getting more of a rise out of the fact that it doesn't rile my jimmies than anything I feel towards this irrational expression of random nothingness. /shrug
