Several instances are currently spamming this community with garbage. We’re trying to ban them all but new ones keep popping up. Our apologies but do know we are working on it.
Believe it or not but Lemmygrad admin is not my daily job and I have to do that as well, so it might be flooded in the meantime 😤
Wait you mean this unpaid volunteer position of trust in the comunity is not your full time job?
For someone that gets accused of being a paid shill this much I’d wish it was true, but no
Wish I could help in some way. Mastadon also saying there’s some Japanese group targeting fedi as well, tons of bots and spam.
We appreciate your work comrade
Japan continuing to be the worst nation.
Nah, JP’s just a vassal to the worst, and for now, actually behind 2nd place Israel.
I don’t recognize the illegal occupation of Palestine.
I don’t understand why so many left wing people seem so prejudiced against japan without knowing much about the place or people. they’re not so bad
Japanese people? Hit or miss like many others.
Japanese government? Fascist puppet stooges of the US. Unrepentant war criminals who are revisionist and deny their government’s crimes in WW2 to this day and to this day honor their WW2 war criminals with visits to the shrine where they are housed. They are at this moment re-arming and becoming increasingly aggressive towards China who they victimized in the last world war and who they deny the simple solace of acknowledgement of their crimes (Japanese nationalists harassed the Japanese author of a book on the Nanking atrocities until she killed herself and the official schoolbooks don’t tend to mention it or downplay it and other atrocities like comfort-women).
Fuck the Japanese government. Fuck Japan as it exists, has existed for over 80 years now. It’s culture is also largely reactionary. Yes there are good Japanese people, good Japanese media, even left-leaning types there. Many anti-militarists but they don’t hold sway.
Just like when I, an American say fuck America, worst nation, I am not saying every single person there is without redemption. I am pointing out the reality.
the nationalist faction of the conservative party in japan only holds about 20% of the seats in the diet and does not represent the overwhelming views of japanese people or the government, although it holds a lot of institutional power and sway, and the ultranationalist lobbyists are even smaller still. its an extreme stretch to claim that any current japanese politician is a war criminal since japan has not sent combat troops anywhere. japan has also apologized on different occasions for different things they did in ww2 and you could easily verify this by putting in google “japan apology for ww2” or something similar. and saying japanese culture is also largely reactionary is insane and shows your ignorance. everything your saying to demonize the country is an extreme stretch and not “pointing out the reality”
They have a really low age of consent and act like a nation with a really low age of consent.
A lot of the hate also comes from the fact the center and right lionizes them so much, presumably because of the really low age of consent.
they have a higher age of consent than my country and also higher than china and its a country of 122 million people sheesh way to generalize a whole group of people off of basically nothing
Yes, it’s that and not the fact that it’s been under control of fascism for a better part of its existence. Call me when they elect the communists.
japan is thousands of years old while the period its reductively called fascist was only 19 years long and was 78 years ago. in those 78 years the country has gone through massive changes from america tearing down many institutions to america starting the reverse course in 1947 to cement conservatism to the rise of the 1955 system to the 1959 anpo protests. and thats all the history I’m pointing out lasted 19 years, an equal amount of time japan was fascist, yet you don’t seem to care. japan has the world’s largest non-ruling communist party yet you don’t seem to care. I think the problem is your prejudice than with the japanese people being so bad
I don’t know what your deal is and at this point I don’t care.
We now just add the instances to the block list and purge the content, but we can’t know which instance they will use next (I think). I currently don’t know what else we could do. Maybe some more tech savvy admins can help with that.
Any news on what the group behind it is motivated by? Why target fediverse? :(
Since most of the spam is in Japanese, that makes me wonder if I offended a Japanese nationalist by discussing Imperial war crimes. It could be just a coincidence, though.
I suspect these are spammers exploring new venues/revenue streams.
Best of luck to the modteam. Ping me if the problem keeps up and I can volunteer some of my time. 🫡

Unsticky since things seem to be good for now
I would not have done that if I were you.

We at lemmy.ml had to deal with them as well. We blocked several instances. The first three listed below are obviously run by the same people and claim to be “low-moderation” and accepting of lolicon. I see that these have already been blocked here as well 💯

- cunnyborea.top

Keep up the tough work comrade. I mainly lurk around but I do notice the reactionaries especially in the comments.
This is clearly a pro-marxist and anti-imperialist forums so the people who are posting reactionary comments are obviously doing so to disrupt the website.
We need people to dunk on though! I’m okay with a trickle from time to time, give the Hexbear users someone to dunk on since everyone defederated them!
How bizarre… since they seem especially interested in this subcommunity that makes me wonder if I posted something to upset an anticommunist, but I’m guessing that I am simply unfortunate. Maybe spammers like the word ‘capitalism’ and that is why they are polluting this spot so hard.
And my downvote!
for all you doTYFYS

This may help you it contains a list of the instances that are being used to create accounts. Thanks for your hard work. https://mastodon.de/@ErikUden/111954222362376457
@GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml @CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml could you check if you can do this? I currently can’t
