Tween drama nonsense if true 😂 😭

I was kinda hoping this was someone’s misguided, lone wolf attempt at ending the era of fediverse open enrollment.

I'm in interested in this lucrative discord bot seeing how I know nothing of the discord bot economy.

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

Annoying. Just the same I hope admins take certain action to mitigate this now and ruminate on ways to mitigate it further in the future with the flip of a switch (perhaps a switch mods of communities can flip to temporarily restrict posting from all other instances, put them in a mod-queue something like that).

Another option might be for a mod power to be created that allows mods with it to spam-hide all content from a given instance temporarily and kick the problem up to admins in a queue for review, perhaps make sure it checks against an allow-list that admins can create of trusted instances that cannot be spam-hidden from (which a rogue or compromised mod could use to wreak havoc), such a list could be populated manually with top active instances or by a periodic process that looks for a certain amount of historical activity from a given instance that hasn't been removed and if an instance has for some time had positive interactions it gets added to this soft allow-list.

Fediverse does need better spam controls IMO because things like this at scale and more frequent are draining to human mods and annoying to users.

Danganronpa reference????

Ah, I thought !opensource@lemmy.ml was just getting hit by the Z-Boy robot from Kim Possible.
