@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they're salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they're trying to "fuck your entire site up" but I imagine it's a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they're creating, LMAO.
Looking at his profile
Since you banned my main for claiming community names, I’ll just fuck your entire site up instead. Much love, Angled
Yeah can't imagine why an instance admin might not want this insufferable piece of shit in their instance.
I bet it’s really spez, same energy
They need to start email verification. It will slow the trolls down.
Doesn't help too much, you can generate infinite email accounts with gmail for an example.
Manual acceptance of each and every user helps, but it's not sustainable.
He got his fee-fees hurt because others didn't like that he was trying to be a selfish asshole (shocking) so now he thinks it's justice to destroy a site and affect multiple people who didn't even do anything to him. 😂 jfc
Maybe admins should restrict community creation for a few days.
Idk, seems like this is quite a pivotal time with an influx of users. Be a shame to have the potential growth in community go to waste.
True, but they could limit community creation to, say, five a day. That would be more than the vast majority of people would legitimately need.
Crazy cuz they could have just made their own instance.
Some people just dont know how to lemmy
Not to mention join a smaller less populated one.
The rotten apples are starting to appear, eh? *sigh, oh well.
They're not getting their jollies harassing people at reddit anymore. Remember, to them any attention is good attention. Employ child psychology because that's where their mind is stuck.
Yep. Same reason why they won't just hang out at places like 4chan, Truth Social, etc.
The libruls they want to "own" are here. They're leaving Reddit because Reddit's going to become a Nazi bar, seeing that half the mods left, and the other have had their tools nerfed. When the libs are gone, they get bored.
Mod of a city subreddit, here. That's basically my fear. I love that community, but it's become impossible to mod, and I have no doubt the absolutely worst people on the internet are going to be the majority of redditors eventually.
They don't deserve their jollies, but they do deserve their jolly ranchers.
I did not want to think about that today. Yet here we are.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Wise words lad.
Alright, mate? You want all the random communities you can get? Let me suggest you to get your own instance to flood with them.
So, it seems a few childish knobs came in with the refugees. Had to know it would happen.
I think most of the children will go back to reddit in time.
There's not going to be much of a reddit for them either, rats flee a sinking ship.
I can imagine that in the next few days we’ll discover everything the devs didn’t think about prior to this. Part of the fun.
drop * from communities where creator == @lmao
And, we presume, ban the originating IP. This doesn't seem like a sophisticated attack so it's probably just a single account rather than an IP hopping VPN user. Sucks that Ruud has to play whack-a-mole (whack-a-lemming?) with this idiot.
The most annoying thing is that the "Trending Communities" section is filled with spam right now.
I think this does show an ~~inherent~~ current flaw with Lemmy. We need a way to report users through their profile. So far we can only report users when they comment, but this guy isn't commenting anywhere so there's no report button. Unless I'm missing something. :p
What a loser. I can't imagine being this salty about this entire situation. Suck that tiny spez pig dick I guess.
inb4 it's spez's account
This is who we’re leaving behind at Reddit. Salty little baby
How about just make it impossible to mod/create more than 3?
There are many communities of my interest that didn't exist. So in my case having only 3 would really cripple me
"I think you should go home now, Devin! Get back on San Vicente. Take it to the 10, switch over to 405 North and let it dump you onto Mulholland -- where you belong!"
@[email protected] I'm sure you're tremendously busy already, just want to make sure you're aware of this.
It's kind of like watching a regime change in real time. Mass movement, infrastructure scaling (mostly) JIT...
