@chris_hayes @dansup I've not seen an active uptick in any kind of actual spam though.

I'm begining to wonder if it's just a bug. Is that stat showing all users an instance is aware of, as opposed to actual local ones?

@pieceofthepie @chris_hayes These appear to be actual accounts, none of them seem to have posted anything yet, but in my experience with Pixelfed spam, they will, and at that point, it will be a game of cat and mouse between lemmy/kbin instances wrt spam and blocks IMO

@dansup @chris_hayes Well that's a little scary. Imagine the bot authors turn on the spam all at once. We just don't have the moderation tooling on any of the platforms that could deal with it.

The admin of lemm.ee apparently deleted a bunch of spam already.

The spam was about remote work opportunities with a suspicious link.
