There are reports of spam coming from specific users on lemmy.blahaj.zone. I stumbled across some very unpleasant NSFL content on an unrelated post. I wouldn’t reccomend it, but you could check soot@lemmy.blahaj.zone’s profile for an example if it hasn’t been taken down yet.

It may be worth temporarily blocking that instance until they get a handle on the situation.

    Been getting a lot of that type of spam from Hexbear ever since they were federated to my home instance a few months ago. Not sure if it’s ALL coming out of them but the vast majority that I’ve seen has been.

      That’s more brigading than anything, which I guess still counts as spamming but is more coordinated and not by bots.
      That’s just hexbear.

      I’ve learned not to kick hornets nests

        Probably for the same reason we haven’t here.

        I’m not sure what that reason is but if I were to venture a guess it’s that the instance isn’t necessarily an issue, just a lot of the users that like to brigade and/or start shit
