There are about 6 pages.dev domains spamming lemmy.world communities

The volume is definitely inorganic, and is across a wide range of communities

pages.dev is Cloudflare’s site hosting which can be used for free - there are likely many legitimate sites that use that domain, but the current flood is suspicious

chronicleresolve.pages.dev

thefreedomproject.pages.dev

versarch.pages.dev

dailypulse.pages.dev

newssphere-6fu.pages.dev

iniko.pages.dev

miniza.pages.dev

orino.pages.dev

I’m cross posting because @lenny_marlane@lemmy.ml seems to be doing the same thing.

It might be an attack vector or something idk but better safe than sorry.

    All of those domains seem to point to the same site. The homepage has no content, so I have no idea what’s on the site. Is it a content farm? Admins can add them to the list of blocked URLs, a feature that was added in 0.19.4 (or maybe 0.19.3?).
