I dont know if the moderators cant see this but other instances can. Please remove the spam guys. This community used to be good.

There’s a huge amount of it on the fediverse right now. People are working very hard at getting rid, all of them volunteers, and in their own time.
I understand. Thanks for pointing this out. I assumed that the mods of the community could just go through and remove them (same as I‘d do with the communities I moderate). I heard they have been deleted by the admins so the mods wont even see them anymore and I need to delete them manually.
Bulk mod actions are unfortunately a missing feature in lemmy at the moment. Consider donating to the lemmy devs and/or let them know that bulk actions and other modding tools are important features that users want.
People have raised that issue several times in the past, the Lemmy devs prioritized other issues instead
AMA from a few months ago (not the last one)!announcements@lemmy.ml
Yea, it’s a bit sad. I hope they will prioritise these kinds of things more in the future.
There are solutions already, even writing a simple for loop that will remove+federate.
What solutions? I’m not aware of any way to bulk remove and federate those removals. Even if an admin could bulk remove via direct database access, I’m not aware of any way to federate those removals.
Any proper solution must be available in the user interface and must be usable by moderators also, not just admins.
Well, you need to access the api. There are also various automods one can deploy.
For whatever reason, they are not visible from kbin.
Thank you for pointing this out. Happy to get some insight. I‘ll delete the posts. Thanks again.
Ofc it was .ml
Use the report button and we’ll get to them when we can.
I did. I reported all of them I think. But thanks for your service dessalines. Sidenote: I use your docker repo and am very impressed with your work. Have a good one.
FYI, @haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com has posted a request on c/community_requests.
FWIW, I wouldn’t say the spam issue is a function of the lack of mods in this comm. There seems to be a new person or group of people experimenting with automating the creation of user accounts on fediverse instances and using them to post spam. We admins & mods here and on other instances are in whack-a-mole mode at the moment. Clearly this will have to be addressed in a more systematic fashion.
I agree. Its a systemic issue imo. I’m just trying to help since I very much care about open source and think this community needs to be protected against image loss done by being spammed this way. Thanks for elaborating. :)
Yes, in general I see a lot of comms have been abandoned by their mods, which is unfortunate and leaves us few admins having to pick up the slack on comms we’re not even necessarily familiar with. And we don’t currently have any sort of auditing to for knowing a comm is abandoned and haven’t yet developed any sort of playbook or automation tools for it.
And again, we do appreciate the help!
Perhaps create a post in such communities asking its users to step up.
Your “job” as an admin should not be to moderate communities but control moderators; removing abusive or inactive ones and appointing new ones.
Sure, always eager to help. Seeing the work you guys do is impressive. I‘m self taught at coding so if there is anything additional I should help with, feel free to lmk.
BTW I’ve only been admin for a few weeks now, so I’ll leave your mod request to the O.G. admins.
No problem. Thanks for lmk.
At least they’ve got a sense of humour and added the Spam images.
Anyone have a translation?
they appear to be advertising their “criminal organization”, listing some of the illegal activities they do and where to find them.
After they post-retire your enemies, they will send you the confirmation images censored with GIMP.
こんにちは - “Hello”
I have commented the translation on a post in !lemmy@lemmy.world i think. A quick look in my posts should show you.
