A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn't good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing (tm)
Not sure if this community was the best place to post this, but yeah, that seems like a bad thing. Thanks for pointing it out. I do find it funny how most of the bot names follow the AdjectiveNounNumber format.
Lemmings of all instances, you may want to let your local admins know of this potential issue.
Here's a link to the megathread of support/meta communities for each instance: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40519876
You should be able to find your instance's support/meta community in the list and cross-post OP's post to it.
At this point I would probably just link this post on the Lemmy Defense HQ Matrix chat, most of the admins are there
WTF did you just call me?
?
Eh, poorly delivered joke I was attempting as a way to note that your comment was indecipherable to my simpleton brain.
I was trying to think of the right community for this... its not fedidrama, I want to target moderators and admins... is there a better community?
We need a lemmyadmin community.
There's already a chat Matrix where admins coordinate
I saw in a comment you made, but one where discussions could be public would be nice.
Discussions are public, everyone can join that chat.
Edit: LW announcement: https://lemmy.world/post/5041072
None of the links there are letting me in,
Just DM'd you on Matrix, let's see how we can make this work
If you're talking about the defense room, it's invite only. I can invite @irelephant@lemm.ee if needed
Its not letting me into any LW matrix room.
I sent an invite to you just now. Try to join
Ah, makes sense, I didn't notice. There are a lot of people there, I assumed it was public
