Lemmy.world is being "attacked" with random communities (lemmy.world)

@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.

Growth for the sake of growth is why reddit and everything else crashes and burns.

Eeh, federated platforms add a lot more moving parts to the mix. Since there isn't a single Lemmy that is all of Lemmy, people can always move to another instance if this one goes to shit.

There are always going to be assholes who abuse the system, always. I agree with the other poster that now is a good time to get communities up and running. People like LMAO have nothing but time to be internet douchebags and find ways around the system.
