@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.
What a loser, LMAO
It’s u/spez!!
As someone who's new to lemmy, could someone explain who is in charge of policing and moderating community names like this? With reddit it's obv Admins but who has that level of power here?
The instance owner/admins are in charge of that. They're kind of equivalent to the Reddit admins, except if you don't like the instance admins you can go to a different Lemmy instance but you can't move to a new Reddit instance. Also, community names are unique to each instance, so !support@lemmy.world and !support@lemm.ee share the same name but are two separate communities in two separate instances.
Why even delete those communities? Just let'em have their three megabytes of database space that gets never used and be done with it.
"I think you should go home now, Devin! Get back on San Vicente. Take it to the 10, switch over to 405 North and let it dump you onto Mulholland -- where you belong!"
wwwwwwwwwwwwwhAT'RE YOU DOING HERE STUART?!
I think we might have a few GUIs for PostgreSQL, but for the most part, you're stuck trying to figure out the best way to isolate the problem communities. Unless all of the names are absurdly long or they have some other defining characteristic in common, all new communities created within a certain timeframe might need to be deleted.
Ah yes, almost as if Beehaw made the right move. Here comes the influx of assholes from Reddit.
At this rate I might just go back to reddit because lemmy is the new place to troll. Also because my 3rd party apps still work. Honestly if people didn't come flooding in I'd be more interested in taking lemmy seriously but I also enjoy chaos... so I guess I'll watch what happens here. Gl and hf.
this would've been a great community for dank, deep-fried, unhinged shitpost memes
If you want to be Reddit you’re gonna have to deal with the Reddit shit.
What would you rather see happen with lemmy, if not wider adoption?
Courting a user base of insufferable, unfunny, terminally online idiots gets you a user base of insufferable, unfunny, terminally online idiots. If you will recall Reddit went through the same influx of shit with the digg exodus and even more so as smartphones got wider adoption.
