I can kinda see it happening on mainstream internet, on YouTube etc. with witless non-nerds but I’m surprised to see it in places that inherently require one to be a tiny bit internet savvy, like Lemmy. I get that getting a bot spam the same message isn’t exactly resource intensive but i still wonder if the cost-effort-return ratio is worth it.
I was scrolling Lemmy earlier and saw the porn Spam. Fucking disgusting, and then for some reason I got more than 100 DMs telling me to kill myself. I don’t know if that counts but this is really not what I signed up for when joining Lemmy. I just want to scroll and see funny memes, maybe hear about or learn interesting stuff.
did see the dickpic shit, due to not much auto moderation there are quite a few of those…
the DM thing is weird, i never got any… (other than the nicole spam) perhaps you triggered some weird person :/
You gotta block what you don’t wanna see or choose an instance that has similar values to you as they’ll be defederated from a lot of shit you don’t wanna see.
You see ads? Have you tried ublockorigin?
It wasn’t an ad, it was a disgusting spam user spamming pictures of their penis everywhere.
Oh, huh, weird, misunderstood you some how. When on the all posts there are a lot of porn related ones, they aren’t hardly worth clicking on, if I want porn I can go to the porn video sites, more there than you can shake a stick at. Yeah I learned my lesson clicking on any of the nsfw ones because it might not be something you want to see.
