Today I noticed dozen of antisemitic posts and a lot of microdosing posts that look like spam (not completely sure but looks like it) on the “homepage”. I think this is concerning, since this can easily bring unwanted attention to Lemmy and could be used against it (and it is really disturbing to see). I report every post, but I don’t know how much effective my actions are. Do you think this problem can be solved?
Reporting is effective
Bans, more bans. That’s the solution.
It seems that actually banning people take time, so maybe there is a need for more moderators? Or a better automatic filter, even if I’m ideally against it
Yeah, some have stayed up for more than 6 hours. For some reason it won’t let me report them and gives me an error instead.
Once mods wake up and clean this up, we may have to think of a better solution so this can’t happen again
At least don’t let this kind of content appear on the homepage, maybe with a different “sort” method on the homepage. I don’t really know, sadly I don’t have any technical skill in this regard
The microdosing is not related, those trippers just post intensivly :)
Jesus, I create some subs (yes, I just created a microdosing community, so I was adding some links), and post some articles (generally a few articles, once a day), in order to add content to the communities. If there is no content to discuss and get people engaged, then there’s no reason for people to join, now is there? If I find some fresh and relevant news, I post it.
And for that, I have been banned and my communities deleted.
I haven’t posted anything controversial, nor am I related to any brigading.
I thought Lemmy was better than this.
hi, could you please link your banned account?
apologies if it got accidentally banned, there was a pretty large influx of right wing trolls from 4chan, so some of your posts/comments/communities may have been accidentally tagged and deleted, and account banned :(
edit: nvm, found it, let me check with the other admins and get back to you :)
Ah, OK, I’m glad those aren’t just spammers, sorry for my mistake
Looks like they got deleted just now as part of the clean up. Maybe mods can restore
