So for the folks seeing all the deleted comments and going “Wow, that’s uncharacteristic!”

Someone created a bot that posted over 7,000 40,000 garbage comments in multiple communities and now almost 10 bogus accounts.

They got banned and removed pretty quickly, but the nature of federation means some people are still seeing the comments.

So you can stop reporting the dude with the weird Simpsons/George Floyd mashup images. They’re already nuked, it just needs to finish cleaning it up.

The moderation channel right now is also being flooded with reports on the account that is already banned and removed, and that’s making it hard to get around to OTHER legitimate reports.

    Yeah I saw those comments on my posts in various subs.

    Good thing that is gone. Thanks

    All in all lemy is much less toxic than reddit.
