Recently one of the posts I made got a porn spam comment and I also saw a lot of porn spam in my instance's communites. Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.

Has anyone else experienced anything like that lately or is it just me?

Going through all the reports is a pain in the ass today.

[-] Salamence@lemmy.zip 7 points 7 hours ago

Im not sure about the porn spam, but the abusive dm is probably from the Feddit.org admin acussing you of being an astrosurfer https://lemmy.zip/post/58901499/24578452 @Astertheprince@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[-] Emopunker@feddit.org 1 points 4 hours ago

No I didn't, though. There is legitimately someone who has been doing this stuff for at least eight months now and I originally thought it was another antiyanks attack, but other admins told me that transphobia is untypical of antiyanks.

Also if you can link the account, I would gladly ban it at least from Feddit.

Nothing since Nicole for me.

Some women wanted to donate me her retirement savings so I open a homeless shelter in Germany but that's it.

[-] michael@piefed.chrisco.me 4 points 8 hours ago

Same. Its been pretty great!

[-] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 2 points 6 hours ago

Seen two spam comments today.

I have everything sorted by new though and they were gone shortly after reporting.

Not seeing it out here in the .world instance, but then again I'm not engaging with trans, autism, or furry communities as much as I think that you are. Sounds as though you've caught a homophobe troll's attention, owing to the KYS & astroturfing DM, and false reporting. Bounce this upstairs to your instance's mods, and let others know who they are.

Friend, with all due respect, there are some people here who belong in a hospital. Mental illness.

[-] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

You will never catch me!

A sizeable chunk of us were banned from Reddit. I’m convinced some of those bans were justified.

We're the internet's Australia

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 10 points 10 hours ago

That all internet and social media

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 4 points 9 hours ago

yeah I think that is a big thing people have to keep in mind with the internet. I try my best to love you all but I don't make decisions with what I "learn" from hanging it out internet spaces. I sometimes laugh at myself when I get to upset by something.

Whenever I’m in too deep in an online argument I’m comforted by the wise words of one Rick Sanchez:

“Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”

Wow... that... I have no words for that. That is beyond despicable. I had a feeling things were bad when I saw the governance thread but that's way way worse than I thought.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 7 hours ago

Exhibit what 200 of why that comm shouldn't be used by anyone and commentors there are immediately suspicious

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

I think this may depend on the instance you're on. The "trans" spam bot hit up my sister's account but she's on fedia/mbin. I haven't noticed the other abuses per se to be like. Rampant or anything.

But I also don't check DM's.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 26 points 11 hours ago

Today sure has one with a tool bag posing anti trans stuff and non tagged nsfw posts.

Porn spam was coming from someone named Draconic_NEO (I think there is a legit account named @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com) with many fake account

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 hours ago

My legit accounts are as follows:

Yes I know this is excessive and I created many of them either when I was less sure of the Fediverse or because I wanted some activity separation in who I follow or communities I'm part of. And also because of Federation issues as well. I also was kind of hoping Lemmy would have something in the future where accounts like this can be merged into a single nomadic account. I had heard of something like that but I can't find it now :/

[-] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

Thanks for information, sorry for this pathetic person. You didn't deserve this.

Lemmy instance admins please ban all other @Draconic_NEO @Draconic_NE0 @Draconic_MEO @Draconic_ME0 accounts in you instance

[-] JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Now that is some enthusiasm for the fediverse.

[-] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

in lemmy.today account bio is

  • Parked account to deter impersonation and abuse on an Open-signups instance.

Please give some context about this @Buelldozer@lemmy.today

What's the relation with this account @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Disclamer: There is many old account with same name but I just list the new ones

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 hours ago

I created it a while back because I thought having the username occupied would prevent this sort of thing from happening. I was more naive back then and didn't think someone would be pathetic enough to use misspellings and lookalikes to get around that 😔.

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 10 points 10 hours ago

I only had a DM once but never happened again,, maybe a troll targeted you? The dm, btw

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 9 hours ago

That's quite funny

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 9 hours ago

this is hilarious.

[-] Zephorah@discuss.online 6 points 9 hours ago

No. I blocked all the anime, furry, porn, and any aggressive subs that consistently read like screaming. If that matters, maybe do the same.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 hours ago

Same. A new one sneaks up on me like Aquaman sometimes, but I kill it with fire.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

Nope, haven't noticed. I do see a lot of spam removed whenever I look at the mod log though. Some level of spam is always to be expected.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 9 hours ago

No but maybe you tell me where all this porn spam is active so I can stay away from it.

[-] Astertheprince@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 hours ago

It came from an instance called chatgptjailbreak.tech. Seems like my instance defederated them.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social -4 points 9 hours ago

yeah it was just a joke comment.

[-] FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website 3 points 10 hours ago

It happens. A very highly intelligent user will occasionally post something in a lot of communities and gets a rise out of downvotes, annoyed comments, and blocks. It's annoying but that is often the nature of the internet. Report, block, and move on.

It's only the very highly intelligent users who do this. So it doesn't happen a lot.

Don't engage with anybody you don't know well on DMs. And if some other very highly intelligent person goes to the effort of sending you abuse via DM, take pride that you really got under their skin. Ignore it if you can.
