Ho man, here's the backend stats for the touhou nsfw subreddit. That's over 100 spam posts a month removed to keep it clean:
How can there be more deleted than published?
170 posts come in. 100 are deleted (because bots), 70 remain.
What kind of bots? "Try this pill to increase your penis size for these 7 Lonely Ladies Nearby™️"?
1.Discord link spam:
2.That particular spam wave was bots that would post thousands of images that all link to one newly created domain:
NSFW
Images were sourced from the posts from a year ago. and they would try to grind karma in the freekarma4u subreddit, but always stopped way too early.
3.The latest memorable spam wave would crosspost copied images into a newly created subreddit:
ecchi
Where they would then peddle their website:
ecchi
I tried to pull them up to see the context, but it just shows a spinner. Is that expected?
Takes awhile to load sometimes. I'll pop them here for reference:
expand this spoiler to see
Oh sorry. I do get that far, but when I click one I only see this:
Basically I was curious what the conversation context was.
That's a recent change to Lemmy which only lets admins/mods see the removed content. If there was a setting to make this transparent, I'd make it so it was transparent. Hopefully this is a bug and not intentional, but I kind of doubt that.
Ahh, well "working as designed" then. Thanks.
For transparency, here's the context you can imagine which removed comment goes where.
Thanks. That link doesn't seem to work, but don't worry about it. EDIT: However, it does offer up a huge Burggit logo. Nice!
try now, I update it and tried in a private tab and it worked.
It worked! I had to use a private window as well, because I guess Firefox cached the redirect page.
Figured it out. It was my fault: I'd blocked the community. Nothing against Touhou NSFW, I was mainly using "block" as a way to filter the Local posts. So I guess Lemmy was trying to protect me from seeing a post in a community I'd blocked... and apparently it chose to do that by throwing up an error page:
Ah, that would explain it. Glad you figured it out.
this gives me git branch history ptsd.
So this means a "triple rainbow" is bad news.
arguing with antis is a waste of time
Right now, the lemmy algorithm "active" rewords controversial discussion heavily. Stuff enough comments in a post and it stays on the top for days.
oh wow. time to make a chat bot to argue with antis
count to 1000000 thread.
lmfao would that actually work
Ya, it's why this post is now on the top. This is why I've made a few discussion posts in https://burggit.moe/c/touhou_nsfw and why https://burggit.moe/c/whosefeet is probably going to take over the whole instance if it takes off.
yeah i noticed the discussion posts. could probably include them with a suggestive image or something
this is definitely not great but might as well abuse the hell out of it
That's the spirit!
🤷♂️ so am i just supposed to use this like twitter and post tons of annoying reaction bait? also i wonder if advertising burggit outside of lemmy would be effective to driving growth
Definitely. We need to advertise heavily here at the start so that we have enough of a sizable community to be stable. Be careful where you advertise. While it would be easy for us to advertise in loli circles and become another allthefallen, I would like to see this instance become hentai first, loli second, discussion 3rd, and squick last. There's plenty other places on the internet for no holds barred discussion and while I can personally block the squick if I don't like it, it's hard to sell this instance to others if the first thing they are slapped in the face with is loli and bruises.
Controversial posts would get a lot of upvotes, but also a lot of downvotes (in instances that allow them). Regardless, having a new comment count as a bump would in regular forum systems is totally exploitable.
