If someone said that shit to me, they would get a fucking ear full. Deep excoriations of our twisted and evil society and the harm it does to every human alive.

That's why I'm sad, you cunt.

[-] NeilBru@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

And here I thought it was because you're an old one.

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

It's true, they would have to see me without my mask and if they do that, they are not going to be telling me to smile. They would be running to the nearest cliff to hurl themselves off as they have been driven to madness by my visage.

Hastur first appeared in Ambrose Bierce's short story "Haïta the Shepherd" (1891) as a benign god of shepherds.

Oh hush, we all saw your cute beginnings, your fluffiness.

As if people are just supposed to stand around smiling like loons at all times for no reason

14 minute old account spamming comics. It’ll be deleted before it sees the top of the hour, I wager.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

The account has lasted 7 hours!!!

Did we figure out why do they do this?

On one hand, they're posting more content than everyone else combined, so there is that.

On the other hand, it seems very strange and it is defiantly an issue if people can spin up a bunch of accounts, post a ton of stuff (potentially illegal), delete the account and spin up another to do it again. I'm guessing it's all under a VPN and distinct emails, making an IP ban not possible.

i'm guessing it's someone from the comics reddit who got banned both there and here for significant misbehavior and who is now trying to prove that they are liked, but has not actually figured out how to interact with people.

SEE THEY LIKE MY POSTS NOW WATCH AS I DELETE THEM that's really all i can think of as motivation. like, they are not even their comics i cannot see how they get validation

Speaking of, does anyone know of a Lemmy android client that allows hiding posts from new accounts? Boost doesn't do it and it's also a bit buggy. Bonus points if available on F-Droid

[-] waldfee@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

iirc Voyager will show the age for less than a month old accounts, Im not sure if it also supports hiding posts from them

[-] hzl@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 18 hours ago

Oh no!

Anyway.

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 1 points 15 hours ago

Ah, so that's why so many get deleted recently...

[+] Lembot_0006@programming.dev -11 points 20 hours ago

Yes, comics from 1-hour old accounts are significantly less funny than those from 5-hour old accounts. All know that!

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 24 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

That's not the problem and I think you know that.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 points 18 hours ago

Not that person you replied to but I personally have no idea what you are talking about, perhaps it's the same for them

[-] Maven@piefed.zip 9 points 16 hours ago

Theres been a string of accounts being made, spamming content to this community, and then being deleted shortly after.

On its own thats just kinda annoying and confusing but the main problem comes in when taking account of what content is being spammed. A majority of the comics being posted are either anti-women, racist, or both and with the fact that its pure spam rapidly shot out from random short lived accounts its impossible to keep up with for the moderators. This also means that any form of warning or bans won't do anything since they aren't real people and by the time any of those could even happen the account is gone.

[-] morto@piefed.social 5 points 15 hours ago

So... does that mean the fediverse model has moderation limitations? In case it grew to become mainstream, how could we deal with automated new accounts posting biased content?

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 points 16 hours ago

Alright, thanks for the catchup. This particular comic seems fine though ? or is that something they do ? start off with something innocuous to not raise any flags, and then go on a spam spree ?

[-] Maven@piefed.zip 3 points 15 hours ago

Honestly I'm not sure?? I dont know what the goal of this even is or why it would be done?

Yes theres a lot of spam of shitty comics but they also tend to get downvoted to hell so thier reach isnt very wide anyway and then the account vanishes.

There doesnt seem to be much strategy at all and it just fundamentally doesn’t seem like its very effective at doing anything other than being really annoying??

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 0 points 13 hours ago

Bot farms throwing reactionary shit at the wall, hoping 1% of them stick ?

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

I prefer my accounts fermented in mahogany barrels for at least a month.

RBF affects 3 out of 5 women every day.

the best way to treat RBF is to smile more.

wait...why are you frowning? I said smile!

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago

I will smile when I finished beating the person who said that.
