Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.

What the fuck and can we do something about it?

    It is a reddit alternative, just not a reddit clone.

    Semantics. If you ask people to switch to an alternative social media platform, it needs to be at least as usable as the original, otherwise it will see no adoption. Lemmy will never gain critical mass if reddit continues to be the better, more usable platform for 95% of all people.

      Thing is, this is not a commercial alternative, nobody is asking people to come over here (and if they do it’s definitely not the creators of the software). People pushing for people to join lemmy are either users who love this kind of platform, or people resented with reddit over their actions.

      I agree that if I were to create commercial alternative to reddit, I should take that into account or it would probably fail. But it is not the case at all.
