The current whack-a-mole spam user that I keep having to block due to spamming awful AI imagery in many places is Owbid Catob. Is there any way that admins of communities can block this person’s IP addresses so that they have a harder time posting anything? I will keep blocking the new accounts as they pop up, but I’m getting so tired of this spammer.
Don’t feed the troll. That includes posts like this.
As I said in the post, I don’t see any evidence to suggest that it is a person/troll. Its specific behaviors and actions are so narrowly scoped that it seems to be an AI agent “programmed” for establishing the bounds of a DDoS test. The periods of very intense rates of account creation to post incoherent text with AI imagery to a narrow set of communities seems to indicate token driven hostile action. Some of the comments adding to the discussion rather than dismissing the post as “feeding the troll” have been helpful.
Nevertheless, blocking and moving on is the only real solution for the general user. They’re not worth wasting brain-space on.
I agree with blocking, but discouraging discussion about topics that affect users is where I’ll respectfully disagree with you.
You do you, bro, but I won’t be engaging any further.
Same.
