I saw this! !Random@kbin.social is full of like bots posting these links I definitely would not click on.
I reported it and then blocked the board, awaiting the solution.

Here is some previous discussion on whether to defederate from them due to worries about their moderation capacity (and how it leads to spam/etc): https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1671319
So far, it seems that most of the spam etc isn’t making it through to people, which is great! It means we can keep things going as they are without it impacting people too much. Please use this thread to let me know if that changes though

Not federate with vlink, that's for sure.
Let people live.
