Theres been a string of accounts being made, spamming content to this community, and then being deleted shortly after.
On its own thats just kinda annoying and confusing but the main problem comes in when taking account of what content is being spammed. A majority of the comics being posted are either anti-women, racist, or both and with the fact that its pure spam rapidly shot out from random short lived accounts its impossible to keep up with for the moderators. This also means that any form of warning or bans won’t do anything since they aren’t real people and by the time any of those could even happen the account is gone.
So… does that mean the fediverse model has moderation limitations? In case it grew to become mainstream, how could we deal with automated new accounts posting biased content?
Alright, thanks for the catchup. This particular comic seems fine though ? or is that something they do ? start off with something innocuous to not raise any flags, and then go on a spam spree ?
Honestly I’m not sure?? I dont know what the goal of this even is or why it would be done?
Yes theres a lot of spam of shitty comics but they also tend to get downvoted to hell so thier reach isnt very wide anyway and then the account vanishes.
There doesnt seem to be much strategy at all and it just fundamentally doesn’t seem like its very effective at doing anything other than being really annoying??
That’s not the problem and I think you know that.
Not that person you replied to but I personally have no idea what you are talking about, perhaps it’s the same for them

Bot farms throwing reactionary shit at the wall, hoping 1% of them stick ?
