In order:
Thank you for dealing with this.
Sorry you’re dealing with this.
You guys must be doing a great job because this is the first I have seen of this!
I did notice some choppiness the past few days, so I wonder if this is the cause. I also haven't seen any spam, so good work admins!
Same; I had no idea and I've been on way too much today!
Yeah, same. Haven't seen anything unusual in the communities I'm subscribed to or moderate. Admins seem to be doing a great job.
The text, for anyone who was curious like I was:
"Nice to meet you! I'm Suzuki Tetsuya, also known as the criminal Midokuri (Noname)! My hobby is sending nukes to various sites!"
"My hobby is sending nukes to various sites!"
Hey, at least they're upfront about their antics.
Relatedly, the linked GitHub has explicitly stated that they have nothing to do with any of this. Any further information from them would be on their (Japanese) mastodon server.
you may want to redact the names as this spam is framing another person pretending to be originating from them
That is, honestly, thoughtful of you. But I'll let your reply stand as the correction. Thank you!
Thank you to all the mods for making Lemmy great!
Thanks for sharing this info with us, I for one appreciate the transparency. And thanks for the work the admins and mods put in to keep the spam at bay!
Make that at least two of us.
This instance has been nothing but great since day one, from stability and transparency to level head mods and admins.
They deserve a bit of praise every once in a while.
Thanks for everything you do!
It really is Lemmy wide too
I saw them start up yesterday because I browse by new and all, and it was accounts from all types of random small instances that had been created in the last week. Then all started spamming at the same time.
What I dont understand is why someone would go they all that hassle to make 100s of accounts to all spam the same thing in a language that the vast majority of people who see it can't understand.
My only guess is it's like how people will reply with Chinese language charectors talking about things in China, thinking that the person they replied to is paid by the Chinese government and would get in trouble? It's the only time I see Chinese characters anyways.
Which never really made sense to me to begin with, but maybe someone is super deep into conspiracies and think by doing this all the Chinese actors won't be able to visit Lemmy?
Shits almost weird enough for me to translate it, but it's almost definitely going to be stupid bullshit so I haven't tried.
