New spam wave?

There seems to be a wave of accounts from this instance spamming/brigading comments everywhere. I know one of them @cobson@lemmy.blahaj.zone has been spamming already. But now there is another spamming pictures of checks notes nikocado avocado's anus everywhere. soot@lemmy.blahaj.zone (check profile and comment history at your own risk). Somebody seems to be raiding this instance and many others through different accounts so i just wanted to warn you all.

Blahaj Lemmy Meta @lemmy.blahaj.zone

Here's another spam account.

lemmy.blahaj.zone /u/soot

24 comments

I presume the intention is to get Blahaj.zone defederated, at least temporarily. I'm definitely monitoring the situation.
Also best not link to the account in your main post as it may get unintentionally clicked but, more importantly, the system thinks it's a cross-post so doesn't list it as a separate post.

Just saw it happen on an Ukraine war post. Multiple anuses posted by same person. Reported.
- Yup unfortunately saw the same guy
- Ive temporarily defederated programming.dev from blahaj until the spam wave is sorted and deleted all the comments so we shouldnt get any more of them
  When the accounts are dealt with im refederating

Btw you're being defederated from programming.dev

Midwest.social is aware of the situation

So is Lemmy.ca

And lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/post/9092277
Kbin.social is still getting slammed

- Makes sense
  The spam bot accounts are posting some terrible stuff, everywhere, incredibly fast
  I'd hate to be a mod today with all the crap that they're posting
  
  Surprises me that Lemmy doesn't have such moderation tools yet, considering how much longer it exist compared to kbin.
- I'm an Admin at Feddit.uk and will temporarily defederate if this goes on.
- @blahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone, not sure if you've already reached out to them, or what protocol is for these things
  
  Hey im one of the programming.dev admins, when the accounts are dealt with on the blahaj side ill be refederating but this just prevents the users on p.d from seeing new spam accounts that may pop up for now since you guys dont have application requests to filter
  Edit: refederated

Yea something about Soyjak.net or something, there's a few accounts I've seen with complete gibberish, then one with NikoAvocado's spread asshole and a decapitated black child.. Saw it on a Lemmy.world post too
- ok but how did u identify who's butt hole that was
  
  I've heard rumors of an asshole so destroyed that it looked like the Large Hadron Collider

Hopefully we can get this sorted quickly, there's so many popping up and spamming all kinds of terrible stuff and word salad
Most appear to be linking some sort of soy jack party?

I saw my first spammer today send some nasty gore stuff in the comments
