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?

This place is spooking the disinformation teams so they are trying to get their hooks in.

They do have their eyes on us[1][2], but I can’t speak to what action they’ve taken, if any.

The moderators of ml are a disinformation team

today i just saw two users from some instance called "chatgptjailbreak" posting transphobic bs but they got banned sooner than anyone could react to it

other than that: nah just the usual idiots :) (in my experience at least)

As for the recent porn spam, some troll is making accounts impersonating other users and spamming communities.

Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.

Please do report these.
