@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they're salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they're trying to "fuck your entire site up" but I imagine it's a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they're creating, LMAO.
This is why we can't have nice things smh. On a positive note, even the douchebags now have abandoned Reddit and think Lemmy is the future.
As someone who's new to lemmy, could someone explain who is in charge of policing and moderating community names like this? With reddit it's obv Admins but who has that level of power here?
"I think you should go home now, Devin! Get back on San Vicente. Take it to the 10, switch over to 405 North and let it dump you onto Mulholland -- where you belong!"
I think we might have a few GUIs for PostgreSQL, but for the most part, you're stuck trying to figure out the best way to isolate the problem communities. Unless all of the names are absurdly long or they have some other defining characteristic in common, all new communities created within a certain timeframe might need to be deleted.
Any rdbms should be able to handle it and it should be trivial to select all communities where mod_id = troll.
That's what I meant: any variable that they all have in common should be what is selected. When we were dealing with spam accounts on NormalCity, I mostly used particular patterns in the email addresses to find problem accounts. Funnily enough, some of the accounts had flat out invalid email addresses that had no .tld, and plenty had long sequences of numbers that were easy to isolate.
lol what a dork
Well, they were at least successful in ruining a search for the word "wefwef", the mobile app. So congrats to that troll, you got me. Bah.
So apparently spez isn't satisfied just fucking up Reddit, and now he is trying to fuck up lemmy, LMAO
Itβs u/spez!!
Gee, wonder who could be doing that
