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?).
