This is obviously an attack on a specific Lemmy instance that just so happens to be transgender - centric.

Blåhaj Lemmy is a Lemmy instance attached to blahaj.zone. This is a group for questions or discussions relevant to either instance.
founded 2 years ago

Nah they're hitting a lot of places. Just some hatefilled loser.
Yeah, they're posting a lot of places, but all the accounts are registered at blahaj. The end result will be instances defederating from blahaj.
create an trap instance to try to get them making accounts there, mabye spam the email used too.
A trap instance you say….
[I got a bot to automatically delete all my comments over 1 month old so you can’t see this comment anymore]
Replying just to say that I agree with this. I’m in queer Discord servers with an order of magnitude less users who have similar questionnaires. The one caveat is that those servers have moderators, as well as admins, going over those answers. I think Lemmy needs to add an ‘Instance Moderator’ role that’s able to deal with things like this without having backend access.
See my previous answer. Anything short of an interview wouldn't work here.
These accounts are being manually registered. Their goal isn't mass registration to spam multiple places, but a few targeted registrations that then spam other instances and get us defederated. They are quite happy to answer questions and do whatever needed to slip through the cracks.
Even manual account approval won't stop them.
What should be limiting their impact is the rate limit set in the Lemmy control panel, but it's not working.
This was my thoughts too, yea.
why has this soot jackass not been banned yet?
He just was.
Was that the bot who posted word salad links? I reported them multiple times.
Do I even want to know what the image links were? I'm old enough to know better than to click on stuff like that.
It was as bad as you're thinking. Honestly, it's not worth knowing.
I believe someone said it was Nickocado Avocado’s spread asshole, so nothing super insane. Eyeblech had so much worse stuff RIP
As someone from Blahaj zone, yeah. We have been under attack for a while. It sucks
Smells like something lemmy world admins would do... Or Hexbear. Fuck em both.
You can have your qualms with the LW or Hexbear admins, but don't be silly. The respective server managers have better things to contend to than to spam or troll on other instances.
*E: added a "to" for clarity
Yeah these former reddit mods totally have better things to do... Man lemmy world mod antik is literally stalking me and gets schizophrenia because of it...
I had a look at this thread, not sure you're making a good case by mentioning it
This is none of the lemmy admins and none of the lemmy admins would do this sort of thing, its from one user of an imageboard that got banned from 4chan (imageboard gets linked in the posts)

Literally just came from a thread about a Newsweek article where some blahaj account carpet bombed everything with porn spam. It’s time to defederate. This is getting ridiculous. If the Admins over there can’t get it under control then we simply shouldn’t deal with it.
user is gone, yay
Has he been server banned?
It's not a matter of getting it "under control". The trolls specifically create accounts with us to get us defederated, including verifying email and answering approval questions.
The thing that is meant to stop them (rate limiting) doesn't work.
In short there is nothing we can do to get it under control short of blocking them when they slip through the cracks.
If that's not good enough and you still want to defederate, well, that was their goal...
