Anybody else block Lemmit.Online spambot? - eviltoast

This bot’s whole purpose is to import crap from Reddit to … here? Why would anyone want that? Somebody did a bunch of work, made an instance and a bot, and they’ve currently got it spamming Lemmy … just to enshitifiy lemmy.

Lemmit.Online bot@lemmit.online

I blocked the bot and the instance, but I have to login in order for that to be effective. If I don’t login, this stuff is all over the main feed.

Am I the only one that thinks this is spam?


Edit … Thanks, people. Learned some things.

        Probably someone followed some community that the bot posts to on your instance and it begun federating.
