Can you link to those threads? It's my opinion that coordinated attacks like that should result in bans. Can you ban users from other instances on your instance?
Yes.
The problem is that sh.itjust.works has an open-registration policy. So when Beehaw.org banned a user, they just made user2@sh.itjust.works and then user3@sh.itjustworks (etc. etc.) and Beehaw.org kept getting flooded with dick-pic spam.
The underlying question is one of open-registration vs closed-registration. Furthermore, its compounded by the fact that Mastodon-like moderation tools don't exist yet (Lemmy is much newer), so solutions from Mastodon don't exist yet.
It sounds like Beehaw.org is pretty confident that Mastodon-like moderation tools will allow them to open back up.
It is still me just under different account. I decide seeing if the defederates posts settle before I reply to you.
On sh.itjust.works, This user creates several threads and comments to making wave hating on exploding-heads.com in last 24 hours and he is proud of the clout he generates. There are also several brigading kbin.social people replying to my comments as camoflaging as sh.itjust.works people; in my instance kbin.social people do not have their @ domain. I am correct on this one; there are several trolls try to abuse defederate feature disguised as community voice as they please.
In this instance I immediately see another post, that is posted in the same day here. However, this attempt immediately backtracked by the OP, so I think this is different than what happens on sh.itjust.works so I am wrong on this one.
