Unpopular opinion, I know, but the fact that lemmy has spam bots means that we've arrived! We're a large enough target to be worthwhile of the spammers. It's badge of Honor

Lol I get the sentiment. I know Mastodon has some sort of shared ban list system that I hope Lemmy adopts. That way there can be a master list of spam domains that instances can subscribe to. Would be a much less of a headache to instance owners then doing it all themselves.

Generally a ban is widespread. I have a large ban list on my instance and haven’t really banned anybody except one spambot.
