There's a person who is spam creating hundreds of communites with impossibly long descriptions on world, why haven't they been banned yet?
It blows me away that 1) people can get so buthurt 2) have the mentality of a small child.
Having lived through the last 20 years, neither of those surprise me at all anymore lmao
It blows me away that the richest person in the world is one of those...
That's not the mentality of a small child that's the mentality of someone who actively refuses to take their medicine. There definitely has to be some underlying problem with them, if I were this mad I 1. wouldn't do this and 2. would be over it within 2 minutes at most. This user can get fucked.
Teenagers can be little shits though
It actually might more be the dumbass thinks it's like the guy who got domains for big companies in the early web and then sold them to them.
Jeez. What a pathetic loser.
I can smell the cheetos-stained fingernails from here.
Seems he's been trying to mess with any instance he gets an account on, I know sh.itjust.works was spammed with "LMAO" communities as well as one other instance iirc
Can’t even imagine why someone would waste their time like this. The instance is basically a non profit run by volunteers who believe in the technology…so let me just spend hours of my life trying to be a dick to them
Oh, that guys back? Yea he has some problems. We just let him think he's doin something.
They should be charged for trying to attack a service using malicious practices. People only learn when their actions have consequences.
Agreed. People still think they’re invincible on the web. Tell that to a bouncer at a club or the police. They will f*** your s*** up.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/SLkHd-m7o3s?t=119

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Sure but this won't stop until it's not possible or worth the effort/resources. So I'm wondering if there's a technical restriction that could be put in place for such behavior. Maybe instances should just start limiting the number of new communities someone can create in a certain amount of time on their instance.
I think one of admins commented saying he added in the last thing, saying there's a delay but it takes time to delete the existing spam communities
Hexbear had a nerd like this in the first year, must have been 3 years ago now. They spammed John Kerry pictures and did it every single day for like 10 months.
Serious waste of time/life.
Is there a way to add this as a bug or feature request list for Lemmy? This seems like a concern that will need to be addressed at some point in the future. Maybe opening up communities created by banned users. Or adding a feature where users can report rogue moderators and allow communities to be liberated from rulers who become malicious or have their account hacked?
How sad your life can be to wanting to claim com name to proove your existence?
He made it impossible to search for wefwef before the name change
fortunately the name changed to Voyager. Reachable at the following URLs vger.app m.lemmy.world
community: voyager@lemmy.world
That seems off.
Holy fucking based! Keep going at it community creating king :marseykingcrown:
The user was banned immediately. Also rate limiting has been put in place on community creation. (Removing the communities takes some time however..)
Hot damn, you are fast. Nice job!
It happened at least a week ago and the user was banned at the same time
OP is just reposting after the issue was already fixed.
Why haven't they been bann.... Oh, they're banned.
Can we have a hard limit on community moderation so we never end up with POWER MODS which were one of the worst things about Reddit moderation.
right? some people spam their own communities daily trying to force traction in them and run like 16 communities.
like fuck off be normal.
Damn this is such a good suggestion fr
do you also ban the IP or is it too much?
Lemmy doesn't have an option for that but we're looking into it
It's so easy to change your IP address. All you'll end up doing is banning a dynamic IP that someone else will get at some point
