It happened very recently as I’ve made interactions with those two in the last 24 hours.
There was a troll abusing lemmy.perthchat.org and later slrpnk.net recently to make dozens of accounts to post porn here (they’ve done the same on other instances before) so I’m guessing lemmy.ml blocked them because of their instant sign-up settings, but perthchat.org has changed to an approval-only system already…
It is exactly what you said.
Thank you for confirming the first instance enabling approval-based registry.
I unblocked it already.
No problem, they mentioned it in the Instance Admin chat. Not sure on how to contact the slrpnk.net admin but they must have had prior communication with the devs in order to get the free instance hosting they’re using.
Aah, I see. That makes sense.
Apparently the trolls had a few accounts left on slrpnk, the spam started again.
i was wondering the same…
