There is some Japanese spam that we are being affected with. Some of you might have noticed.

I have set up automated removal for it. Please report if you see a spam post that is 2 minutes old or more.

We are not sure what the point of this spam is but if it is anything like the last time it is probably an outcome of a fight somewhere in the Japanese fediverse. Not sure over what though.

    Yeah it’s pretty much garbage

    It’s not even trying to get you to do anything. Just phrased as a bizarre self introduction about how much he likes nuking places. A lot of scams here are phrased in that exact way “Hi, I am name! My hobbies are…”. I used to get about ten text messages like that a day.

    Not really sure what the goal of this particular one is. I am not aware of anyone with that name even they’re trying to target.

      It is a fight between two somethings (people, groups, etc.). This post is impersonating someone and trying to make them look bad.
