This place is getting spammed by bots and nobody acts

I just found a handful of bots that are spamming lemmy and kbin communities for hours but this place here does not seem to do anything against it.

The only posts in the last 18 hrs seem to be bot posts.

Edit: here are pictures of the posts

I have not noticed many spammers here on kbin. But, when I do, the way I handle it is:

  1. Reduce/Report.
  2. Do I see the same user posting spam, block user.
  3. Does it seem to come from the same domain, block domain.

i'd also noticed this but i'm honestly not sure what can be done. i'd just unsubscribed since i figured this place was fully taken over.

Thanks for confirming. I‘m also unsubbing from all kbin communities since this stuff is still going.

I think you see something different on tech@kbin.social than what kbin users see on tech@kbin.social.

I go to https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/tech@kbin.social?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New, sorted by newest, and I see a lot of "ImNotBobDylan" clones spamming garbage links.

I go to https://kbin.social/m/tech/newest and I don't see any BobDylans.

I go to https://discuss.tchncs.de/u/ImNotBobDylan1@kbin.social and I see 3 spam posts.

I go to https://kbin.social/u/ImNotBobDylan1 and I see a 404 page. That user does not exist at kbin.social.

So, whatever is happening, I'm not sure kbin is the source of the problem. If it was, certainly we would see this user as well, right? I mean, it would at least explain why nobody is acting here... we can't physically see the problem lol.
