Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.

What the fuck and can we do something about it?

Instances likely need global moderators or a team of admins that can address the issue. The growth of Lemmy and Kbin left the larger communities without enough volunteer staff to deal with the influx.

The instances would also benefit from a bit of cross-site collaboration. If a terrible user is spamming / botting / trolling, having a "league of allied instances" willing to ban and block the user on all of them would be beneficial.
