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
The main culprit, @[email protected], has been banned.
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
I see it’s mostly from the user marcus_inferno
It’s a clear pattern of missing the correct context of different communities
It seems to be happening again but this time with @[email protected]
