There are about 6 pages.dev domains spamming lemmy.world communities

The volume is definitely inorganic, and is across a wide range of communities

pages.dev is Cloudflare's site hosting which can be used for free - there are likely many legitimate sites that use that domain, but the current flood is suspicious

chronicleresolve.pages.dev

thefreedomproject.pages.dev

versarch.pages.dev

dailypulse.pages.dev

newssphere-6fu.pages.dev

iniko.pages.dev

miniza.pages.dev

orino.pages.dev

Yes it’s ridiculous, some kind of botspam linking random articles to random-related communities.

“kids learn to cook at camp” -> cooking

“Taylor swift should not endorse a candidate” -> swift (programming)

“Cleveland guy remembers big fire”-> cleveland

And on and on and on

The main culprit, @[email protected], has been banned.

I see it's mostly from the user marcus_inferno

It's a clear pattern of missing the correct context of different communities
