Bots spamming nonsense comments (lemmy.ca)

It started yesterday. Immediately after posting, some account started commenting nonsense and the same images repeatedly, so I banned it. Today the same thing is happening, but it's a different account. Anyone else have this happen?

I banned it from a few communities and I've been removing what people report. My guess is that it's commenting on random new posts

There might be a way to mass remove the content as an admin?

yes, I've banned it and removed all it's content.

Another one, the blahaj main community has a discussion up about the spam bots. I'd recommend not looking through this account if you can avoid it

We could maybe defederate temporarily and refederate once the admin is back?

thanks, it's been dealt with.
