Have you already encountered those new bots on Lemmy? - lemm.ee

With all these new bot instances popping up, have you already seen these accounts actually raiding stuff? And can/do we defederate from those instances?

Nah, I think they're just being mass-created. No one's actually spamming anything so far. You can see so on this directory of instances: https://the-federation.info/platform/73

If you scroll around you'll find some that have like 10k or 20k users and 11 posts at most.

Wish there was an in-built feature to block entire instances just for this case. Some of them have 30k users with only 10 active users.
