@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.

This is why we can't have nice things smh. On a positive note, even the douchebags now have abandoned Reddit and think Lemmy is the future.

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.

Any rdbms should be able to handle it and it should be trivial to select all communities where mod_id = troll.

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?

[-] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Every instance has its own admins.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Also the admins for this instance

"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!"

Well, they were at least successful in ruining a search for the word "wefwef", the mobile app. So congrats to that troll, you got me. Bah.

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?

Why even delete those communities? Just let'em have their three megabytes of database space that gets never used and be done with it.
