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.

    Sorry about that, should’ve been clear to me it was more than the one thread they were in, but I only reported it once!

    The fuck are some people’s problems…

      At one point there were close to 100 reports that I saw and my queue is really only for 2 large communities and 3 tiny ones.
