@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.
I’m betting it’s some bigot upset that this instance defederated from one they like and/or run.
There’s one in particular that was pretty big and just got defederated from most major instances.
They’re mad others don’t have to see their shit now
There’s a pretty big “dank” community that’s pretty much just racism that I’ve already blocked
Yeah, I feel like in addition to people choosing to leave reddit, a bunch of bigots who have been up banned from reddit are trying to come to Lemmy too.
I’d like to see something where admins have to opt in to generating rather than the current arraignment where all it takes is one user following any community for it to happen.
I had a feeling that’s what the “dank” in “dank memes” meant back on Reddit when I couldn’t get a straight answer from the mods there about what made a dankmeme dank and not just a meme, as it didn’t have anything to do with moisture or weed. The memes themselves were mostly just reposted from regular memes; but the comments were flaming piles of shit covered tires.
