I think it’s a spam bot, I had to block that community to keep it from taking over my feed
I also just blocked it

I mean, in the screenshot the posts are less than ten minutes old. Saying “completely unmoderated” is a bit harsh for that kind of timeframe.

I scrolled for minutes seeing those almost exclusively before giving up, I’d say it’s not an exaggeration.

Someone mentioned there is a bug in the Hot algorithm that - if I remember correctly- judges hot based on the average upvotes for the community, so the first post of any new community is always hot.
It’s a bot from kbin that started posting yesterday. Some lemmy instances temporarily blocked the community it was coming from until the kbin admins fix it.
Report, block the user and/or the community. It’ll be growing pains until we figure out how to keep bad actors from ruining Lemmy. Until then it will happen here and there. DNS attacks and hacks have take down instances and been fixed and patched many times. If assholes CAN do something shitty, they will.
Asian street meat is the best
At a office meeting, I shared that I bought street snacks in Asia. Some new guy said, “You got Asian street meat?” And i nodded. He proceeds to tell the whole office about how I got Asian street meat to the confused/nervous laughs from everyone. I didn’t know what it meant.
Manager then called me in asking why did I share that, and I explained. Then he explained what Asian Street Meat was (to my absolute horror), called in the other guy, and went off on him. New guy quit after six months.
Honestly I had no idea what it actually was until the responses to this thread. I just thoughtit was funny. Now my comment is pretty funny without any context.
I need to know what this is
