@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they're salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they're trying to "fuck your entire site up" but I imagine it's a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they're creating, LMAO.

... that's so fucking weird. Why would someone waste their time doing that? Why even bother reserving community names when you can just make another on a different instance with the same name? I can't believe someone would spend their weekend doing that lol.

Whenever I feel like I'm wasting my time doing something I'll think of this loser and feel better

Especially considering another instance will just make a new one in order to popularize it instead, even if it’s not .world which is shaping up to be the “main” instance

Always someone looking to exploit a system even if it’s just to watch it burn. Lemmy, if it grows, will soon get bots and everything reddit had to deal with too.
