In this thread: User ThuleanPerspective apparently losing their fucking minds and then having their entire account comment history removed. I've never been so intrigued to know what crazy nonsense this person posts.

Update: Looked closer at their history. Managed to comment in dozens of threads per minute. Likely a bot that got removed. That's more boring than I'd hoped.

They did the exact same thing with a different account yesterday. I'm guessing this is going to be a thing for a while.

The annoying thing is it’s just one federated server with bot accounts. Wish with enough use or mod votes something we could automatically defederate

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 9 points 9 months ago

I use Boost and can just filter out any posts and comments from any specific instance. Really nice actually

[-] sjmarf@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

Lemmy can do this natively on instances running 0.19.0 or above, too.

Ive seen those kind of posts all the way back to the reddit Exodus. No idea what their motives are even.

[-] Baku@aussie.zone 8 points 9 months ago

I think at the moment it's mainly about causing drama and chaos. I'd say 70% are bots made just because we seem like easy targets, 25% are bots made by people with vested interested in the liked of Reddit and similar trying to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the fediverse, and 5% are just people making bots for no real reason

If you’re curious as to the actual content of their spam posts, I actually saw some of them (yesterday) (on a different post) (from one of their alt accounts) (they have several now)

It’s essentially a wall of gibberish text, all caps, followed by what appears to be series of ai-generated images of a naked Simpsons character. Didn’t examine it too closely as it was NSFW

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 9 months ago

Oh, I saw that this morning and downvoted it. Fuck off, spammers.

[-] herpaderp@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It also features George Floyd getting choked by booty cheeks and the cop who murdered him doing a Fortnite dance.

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Wow, that’s pretty vile. Seems like the mods/admins are pretty on top of it at this point, I’m seeing the occasional ocean of deleted comments from different alts

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

The fact that that image exists at all (aside from the obviously horrifying murder)...like someone learned about the murder, thought it up, and then created it. And then shared it. Who does that??

[-] chatokun@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

Racists, and or people who don't care about people and want to revel in it. For some people, doing such vile things gets them off.

[-] Votes@lemm.ee 27 points 9 months ago

That was Varg Vikernes's YouTube name before he got banned. Not sure the connection between a Simpson's spam bot and a racist/murderer/arsonist black metal musician but kind of interesting.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 5 points 9 months ago

The spam was George Floyd getting murdered by a Simpson cop's dump truck. Just some racist loser with a grudge and some bots.

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

Such a bummer that Varg is such a loser. He pioneered so much cool shit for the metal scene. :(

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

It's someone using macros to fuck with every comment section.

[-] ilost7489@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago

I just saw them on a different post and was confused. Thanks for commenting about jt
