Hey all -
Just a quick announcement that we’re currently not federating with eviltoast.org - it seems to be the base of the spam bots we’ve seen recently. I don’t think the site administration teams have anything to do with the spam however they also seem to be absent, and are not doing anything to combat it. Until such time that they are actively cleaning up their spam issue they will remain defederated. I’m pretty lax about our federation, but this has been a persistent issue (See rule 9). I’m sure the spammer will probably find another host at some point though.
Thanks for being a member of TheLemmy.Club

Thank you. Yesterday was my first experience with their spammer(s), like 10 of the exact same post: an offbrand Simpsons character looking like they were tied in bondage and twerking, along with 2 paragraphs of text that walked a middle road between political and sexually deviant.
I mean it hardly bothered me, just reported and moved on with my life, but seriously, don’t people have better things to do with their time?

I mean yeah, but only as much as every other part of society that irritates me. Why can’t we all just be more normal/decent? What drives the human psyche to do these things? Was humanity a mistake? Will I ever stop over analyzing things? Will they tastefully wrap up Dragon Ball Super without Toriyama, or will it be milked like a dead horse for the money? Why IS anything?

No problem, but FYI this is for thelemmy.club - this won’t affect you on Lemmy.world.
Joys of federation, eh?
