    the 2 million here includes the account bots that mass target open signup instances. (if an instance has no restrictions on signing up then they tend to make 8k accounts or something on it). fedidb detects that and excludes it

      Yep, Alien.top has over one million accounts alone and they’re all crossposting Reddit spam bot accounts.

      More instances need to defederate from that spam instance. Because no matter how many people explain why the project isn’t actually helpful nor does it add real value to Lemmy the person behind it is utterly convinced he’s the smartest person in the fediverse and we all just need to learn to love his spam.

        The bots have been disabled for over a month now. lemmy.world is been long defederated with it (which means that you don’t see it) yet you continue to think this is a problem…

          I’m on a backup account because instances running 0.19.1 aren’t federating properly so my main isn’t able to post. Not that it’s any of your business in the first place. Now take your bot spam instance, and your vote manipulating alts, and get lost.

            vote manipulating alts

            The nice thing about open systems is that votes are public. Go check out who is voting down your comments before making baseless accusations, please. Or don’t and continue grasping at whatever straws you can find to justify your hate.
