Today I noticed dozen of antisemitic posts and a lot of microdosing posts that look like spam (not completely sure but looks like it) on the “homepage”. I think this is concerning, since this can easily bring unwanted attention to Lemmy and could be used against it (and it is really disturbing to see). I report every post, but I don’t know how much effective my actions are. Do you think this problem can be solved?

      Jesus, I create some subs (yes, I just created a microdosing community, so I was adding some links), and post some articles (generally a few articles, once a day), in order to add content to the communities. If there is no content to discuss and get people engaged, then there’s no reason for people to join, now is there? If I find some fresh and relevant news, I post it.

      And for that, I have been banned and my communities deleted.

      I haven’t posted anything controversial, nor am I related to any brigading.

      I thought Lemmy was better than this.

        hi, could you please link your banned account?

        apologies if it got accidentally banned, there was a pretty large influx of right wing trolls from 4chan, so some of your posts/comments/communities may have been accidentally tagged and deleted, and account banned :(

        edit: nvm, found it, let me check with the other admins and get back to you :)

        Looks like they got deleted just now as part of the clean up. Maybe mods can restore
