I'm sure many of you have noticed the spam wave hitting !capitalismindecay@lemmygrad.ml. You may have also seen similar posts getting spammed in !opensource@lemmy.ml and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

I was recently shared a link to this post by someone who learned more about what was going on. It turns out it's a false flag by a cybercriminal group trying to make it look like the person who DDoSed a very lucrative discord bot they run is spamming various fediverse communities. Oddly enough, both the cybercriminal group and the person being implicated in the false flag are all children.

'turns out they were all children' is an amazing plot twist
