If there is one thing I have learned from lemmy so far, is there are a lot of weirdos on here with an axe to grind. world and ml get regularly DDOSed, there was the time when world got hacked and got a ton of horrible stuff posted to it, and there was that one user who claimed a lot of communities and sat on them, only to vow revenge when they got banned.

My guess is that Lemmy is at the weird intersection where it's popular enough that people get satisfaction from "breaking" it while also not being mature enough to have robust ways to defend against it. The project did get forced into the limelight after all and it's fantastic that everything has scaled as well as it has so far

Idk but that same type of spammer keeps doing to Hexbear, too. Using the purge feature is good for that spammer type so users don't end up with a ton of notifications of deleted comments afterwards

The reason we just upgraded to 0.18.4 from 0.18.2 is because that is the exact feature that was broken in 0.18.2 and it was kind of essential in this case

They're likely very upset about something. Seems like a supreme waste of effort though. Admins can just click on a user and purge all comments with a single click. The best part is how they put a pacifier on the picture. It's like subconsciously they know they're just having a big ol cry.

It looks like they were banned, but the comments are still up. Hopefully there is a way of removing them all.

I don't know why, but I find it amusing that the dude spammed this post about him.
Crul in main
User spamming the same comment everywhere
This user is spamming the same comment over and over @googa@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Let me know if there is a more proper way to notify these issues.
I noticed this too. Admins should ban
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone User @googa is spamming tons of garbage comments all over the site.
Yeah. That fucker got my cat posts. I reported & blocked.
I wonder what is the motive here.
Script kiddie, probably.

They said who is behind the spamming, maybe?
Yeah, just came across them. They are posting TONS in a minute.https://i.imgur.com/12i7ySv.jpg
How do I find this fabled "Wet man mountain"
I think it’s in the same range as the Big Rock Candy mountains.
Any other kbin users getting an error message trying to block it? I'm on my lemmy account cause there is no way can find to silence it from kbin.
Blocking worked for me.
From kbin? I'm on lemmy rn cause it's working here.
Worked fine for me from kbin
You get an error but it should still be blocked when you come back. A few kbin features function but still send you to an error page.
I get the error, and its still visible.
Hmm, have you tried blocking from the floating information panel or directly on their profile? I can’t recall which, but one of them worked for me.
I've reported some of the posts but there doesn't seem to be a way to report the user
