This is just a partial list of this POS’s ban and block evasion tactics. Every two to three days, this asshole forces an instance to federate out, wasting their resources, and doesn’t give a shit who has banned or tried to block them. Then a large number from every one of these account is very heavily upvoted. Oh, that isn’t suspicious at all, especially when over 90% of what this fuckwqd posts is the laziest kind of repost (just blatantly ripped from .ml in a likely automated way similar to the the account creation likely is since they will make accounts on instances less than a day old).
I am fucking tired of this shitty, bad faith action and this is proof that it is high time that an instance needs the ability to straight up perma ban a username from any instance. I am aware that PieFed has this feature and right now it seems like something so incredibly basic. One person has the power to make all of Lemmy effectively useless, and it needs to stop being that way immediately.
The community isn’t configured to screen it out, pretty much by design.
There’s not a great technical solution for screening out this kind of malicious conduct
fair point but it’s not mainly a software problem. there’s no reason that e.g. an article on vpn use in response to the UK online safety act shouldn’t be posted/reposted to technology@instance.uk, privacy@instance.ml, worldnews@instance.elsewhere etc
what is disappointing about this cm0002 stuff is what i’ve seen of the general community response to the high effort attempt to flood the timeline with low effort posts. the supportive comments and upvotes suggest that people like it, and that is baffling to me
There’s a naked skepticism towards any kind of moderation. And after a string of sites full of ugly administrators and sadistic moderators, who can blame them?
