@lemm.eeIt looks like there are many submissions now being downvoted across many subs.
Before the API change I never really noticed mass submissions with zero votes. Now i see multiple zero vote submissions daily and I browse Reddit for about 20 minutes a day. My feed is set to sort by hot, so I don't see many submissions that have just been created.
Is this a sign of the type of people using Reddit these days, a lack of moderation, or could there be some bots floating mass downvoting?
I've experienced it today where the app doesn't show the comment if I click one of my own comments or the reply to it. It shows the parent comment and other comments in the submission.
I've checked the modlog for the community and neither comment has been removed, so it looks like it's a bug with the app?
Is there such a thing as shadow banning submissions, comments, or users on Lemmy?
I'm having trouble seeing a couple of comments that I know were there at some points, one of them is my own and I haven't deleted it. So it got me wondering, is shadow banning a thing here.
I've noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?
I assume they mean good by 'generating' content in communities, but I don't see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.
I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I'd just prefer to block them all so I don't see their content at all.
They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?
I'm interested in looking at newly registered domains for bad actors.
There are services out there that offer zone files for 'all' TLDs but are too expensive for individuals not backed by a company to pick up the bill. I've also found some free lists but they appear to be incomplete.
So I've gone down the route of attempting to obtain zone files or at least newly registered domain lists from TLDs themselves. Obtaining zone files for gTLDs is straight forward with ICANN's CZDS service. But obtaining zone files for ccTLDs appears to be quite interesting. I attempted to Google but couldn't find anything so I've started to email ccTLDs; it already feels like I'm spamming since I'm sending the same email - I've only sent it to 10 TLDs so far. It looks like there are a few hundred ccTLDs.
Is there a better method than emailing each ccTLD and hoping for the best?
