There are a handful of accounts, from one instance, that are the source of increasing amounts of SPAM in my feed.
In all cases the accounts have post history (their SPAM) and zero comment history. In every case the message encourages the reader to visit a web site, and we all know how that works.
Does reporting the posts do any good? I know I can block them, but that doesn’t stop the spread. Downvoting? Seriously, what’s the best approach on Lemmy to deal by with spammers?
What is the instance?
kbin.social to start with, posted in random, now another kbin. is being used, but I didn’t note the suffix.
That’s interesting. On kbin.social anytime I see spam it’s from hexbear
I’ve noticed some kbin users that make 4 sketchy posts then disappear. Some are Amazon affiliate links, others are investment articles using similar keywords which I assume they somehow make money from.
Interesting. Kbin.social admins should be active, hopefully they’ll react
