Spambots are abusing this fact
.ml admins fix pls

It’s weird… I haven’t seen a single spam post here. Only posts about the spam posts. I don’t think I have any filtering on my end. Not that I’m complaining, but why don’t I see them?
- poVoq ( @poVoq@slrpnk.net ) 20•9 months ago
Because your instance admins bulk deleted the posts directly in the database, which doesn’t federate to other instances.
Quick and dirty fix because Lemmy is currently ill equipped to delete mass spam originating from many different accounts, but it means people from other instances still see all the spam and the lemmy.ml based moderators can’t do much because it’s already gone on their side.

There’s a few open issues on lemmy for this (federating deletes when banning non-local users), when I get some time I’ll work on them.

The spam I noticed was yesterday, might have been removed by the time you came online, since they where identical and likely easy for your admins to filter out.

Would be a good time to open a request on /c/meta@lemmy.ml for those who are willing to step up.
EDIT: even better would be /c/community_requests@lemmy.ml

Looks like some group or individual is spamming fediverse seeing a lot of complaints on mastodon too

I’m happy to help moderate. I currently mod several small communities here on lemmy including !boinc@sopuli.xyz and !scientificcomputing@lemmy.ml and would gladly add this one. I also have experience modding some reddit subs.
