I don't think there's a LemmyNSFW Meta to talk about possible issues in the instance, but lately I've noticed a few - possibly bot? - accounts spamming communities. They both have jumbled usernames and have created around a dozen communities each.

I don't necessarily understand what's the point, or what they could gain from this, but thought it'd be worth to at least point out to the mod coordination.

The accounts are @0D5C3D7BD3F7D503 and @0FAC249F80845370

Mildly unrelated but I've also noticed @Think316 has dozen of communities dedicated to different brazilian celebrities, but in this case I think they're just not very bright.

I brought up two of the newer random accounts on the Mod Coord chat on Element since some of their posts were hitting !hentai. This would make for at least four accounts so far that I can count:

@0FEAC1B46BE2EA09 - (Banned?) posted a few posts with nonsense titles and wonky obfuscated links
@0FE66A4B6C020906 - (Banned?) posted the same images (again, nonsense titles)
@0D5C3D7BD3F7D503 - (Banned?) created a ton of new communities
@0FAC249F80845370 - the latest?

Not sure if it's a bot or not, but their posts and behavior don't seem like they're very engaged in making or contributing to a healthy community.
