Lemmy.world is being "attacked" with random communities

@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they're salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they're trying to "fuck your entire site up" but I imagine it's a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they're creating, LMAO.

Looking at his profile

Since you banned my main for claiming community names, I’ll just fuck your entire site up instead. Much love, Angled

Yeah can't imagine why an instance admin might not want this insufferable piece of shit in their instance.
The rotten apples are starting to appear, eh? *sigh, oh well.
Crazy cuz they could have just made their own instance.
I can imagine that in the next few days we’ll discover everything the devs didn’t think about prior to this. Part of the fun.
So, it seems a few childish knobs came in with the refugees. Had to know it would happen.
Alright, mate? You want all the random communities you can get? Let me suggest you to get your own instance to flood with them.
The most annoying thing is that the "Trending Communities" section is filled with spam right now.

I think this does show an ~~inherent~~ current flaw with Lemmy. We need a way to report users through their profile. So far we can only report users when they comment, but this guy isn't commenting anywhere so there's no report button. Unless I'm missing something. :p
How about just make it impossible to mod/create more than 3?
This is who we’re leaving behind at Reddit. Salty little baby
first showing door to nazis, then spammers, then salty time wasters. looks like speedrunning history of internet in reverse
What a loser. I can't imagine being this salty about this entire situation. Suck that tiny spez pig dick I guess.
@ruud@lemmy.world I'm sure you're tremendously busy already, just want to make sure you're aware of this.
What a loser, LMAO
It’s u/spez!!
drop * from communities where creator == @lmao
How don't these fuckwits realize this place doesn't want them? Stay over in the trash heap where you belong.
Why even delete those communities? Just let'em have their three megabytes of database space that gets never used and be done with it.
A simple captcha for community creation would prevent this
I think we might have a few GUIs for PostgreSQL, but for the most part, you're stuck trying to figure out the best way to isolate the problem communities. Unless all of the names are absurdly long or they have some other defining characteristic in common, all new communities created within a certain timeframe might need to be deleted.
As someone who's new to lemmy, could someone explain who is in charge of policing and moderating community names like this? With reddit it's obv Admins but who has that level of power here?
"I think you should go home now, Devin! Get back on San Vicente. Take it to the 10, switch over to 405 North and let it dump you onto Mulholland -- where you belong!"
this would've been a great community for dank, deep-fried, unhinged shitpost memes
Ah yes, almost as if Beehaw made the right move. Here comes the influx of assholes from Reddit.

At this rate I might just go back to reddit because lemmy is the new place to troll. Also because my 3rd party apps still work. Honestly if people didn't come flooding in I'd be more interested in taking lemmy seriously but I also enjoy chaos... so I guess I'll watch what happens here. Gl and hf.
If you want to be Reddit you’re gonna have to deal with the Reddit shit.
