Today, a bunch of new instances appeared in the top of the user count list [https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list]. It appears that these instances are all being bombarded by bot sign-ups. For now, it seems that the bots are especially targeting instances that have: * Open sign-ups * No captcha * No...
Perhaps you could share what is the model of your thin client? So we can get a grasp of what we’re dealing with.
Good starting points: https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/
I would use $
too for the example you’ve posted - it is just assuming a different user.
As long as it is not root, I wouldn’t put it with #
.
Once again wanna pose the question - any way we can help out, financially, or otherwise?
Nice! Was wondering if it was this, or the server was being updated to 0.18.1
Looks like one of those recorded message things you find inside greeting cards - the glob of stuff below the black epoxy blob (the ic), looks like a badly corroded button.
Can try cleaning the button up a bit, or removing it entirely, and bridge the connections beneath it.
I’m thinking this would be the case if your instance had more than 1 user subscribed to that community in the large instance - but if it is just you, wouldn’t it be similar to accessing each instance and viewing the communities there?
latte.isnot.coffee offers open sign ups - should we implement anti-bot measures?
Same post on lemm.ee - https://lemm.ee/post/197715
This instance has open sign ups - and is one of the instances which the lemm.ee admins noticed bot posts from.
Should we do anything to stem the bots? Would very much like the lemmyverse to be many small instances federated together, rather then just a few mega ones.
