What’s with all the porn in Random today?
What’s with all the porn in Random today?
The spammers have broken in and started posting links to sites I’ve never heard of. I must have blocked a dozen users today.
Can you be more specific about what community you're seeing this in? I'm not aware of a c/Random on Beehaw. Also, please report these posts if you see them, mods will clear them out for everyone.
16It's an unmoderated kbin magazine. Nothing to be done but block it and move on.
26Ah okay, annoying then but such is life

Yeah, my bad, it’s on Kbin

The Arkansans have figured out a way around the new no-porn law.
8I was subbed to random@kbin.social on another account, and I started by blocking and reporting several of the spammers, but nothing seemed to happen, so I thought maybe they're alright with straight up porn?
That's where the bulk of it seemed to be. Once I blocked that community, I haven't seen much since, even browsing all.
7I'm still a noob here good sir, how can I possibly block these spam? I'm currently using desktop. I also was subbed to random@kbin.social without me ever knowing that instance.
5Are you sure you weren't browsing all? I don't think you could be subscribed to a community without your knowing.
To block: Click on the community name (random@kbin.social) next time you see a post from there. There should be a "block community" button on the right side of the screen. I've done this quite a lot to block the porn communities. I see you're on lemmy.ml, so I think if you click the following link you should see that block button: https://lemmy.ml/c/random@kbin.social
Don't worry, it was confusing to me when I first joined the fediverse as well.

I thought I accidentally subbed to a NSFW instance. I opted not to sub to any NSFW instances here.
6Right? Don’t worry, though. It’s sudden and definitely not the norm!
4God damn, I was literally confused at start but thank you OP for posting. I'm glad I was not alone lol

Are they tagged as NSFW?
2They’re from the Random magazine on kbin.social. They’re marked “18+” there.
5The posts I saw appeared to be tagged NSFW
