A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Am I the only one that think the new bitcoincash community is full of bots? (lemm.ee)

The community is only 13 days old. Frequently I see post on all from either the mod or new accounts all ranting about bch or related sites and they’re all super excited to tell you about it. I mean look at the pinned post and replies for goodness sake.

All new accounts. All just loving bch so much and super excited to tell you about it. A lot of the posts have strikingly similar formats too. Like bold sub-title paragraph of text and repeat. Reeks of botting/astroturfing. Just me or nah? Im going to post again regarding lemmy being cool with bots auto posting links to off site frequently, but that’s a rant for another day.

That’s the problem, ol mate is hosting on his own instance for that very reason I suspect. Though I could be misunderstanding Lemmy’s naming/backend scheme.

On our end we're monitoring the situation, if it ends up being spam that overwhelms the All feed and AI-generated slop we may just defederate from this instance.

Could you notify me or the defense matrix on your decision?

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago

Of course.

[–] CTDummy@lemm.ee 9 points 16 hours ago

Legend, I’ll inbox ours as well to loop them in.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (3 children)

That makes it harder, but your instances admins can still defederate that specific instance then.

@surprised_pikachu@feddit.org what's your opinion?

https://feddit.org/c/bitcoincash@realbitcoin.cash ist die besprochene Gemeinde, also auf der Instanz realbitcoin.cash.

Seems like self-promotion of a possible pump and pump to me.

EDIT: defederated

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 5 points 15 hours ago

Effiziente Admins😘

[–] CTDummy@lemm.ee 5 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Cheers, I’ll be sure to complain to ours as well. Edit: Done, thanks again for the suggestions.
