6.6k spam users

I made a mistake. I forgot to cahnge the setting after updating to screen for bots. This is getting out of hand. Luckily database commands aren't too hard.

Did they get federated to other instances? I wonder if those records are still in peer databases.

Denial of service by putting data into the system is happening just from routine user activity. And that gets into multiple servers. Lemmy scaling is beyond crisis point.

Did they post spam, or did they just create accounts? I'm expecting bad guys will create accounts and wait until they have a buyer for spam.
