I have an idea. I can’t tell if it’s good or bad. Let me know what you guys think.

I think when someone posts “clone credit cards HMU for my telegram I know you’re just here sitting here waiting like gee I wish someone would post me criminal scammy get rich quick schemes, I can’t want to have a felony on my record” type spam, there should be a bot the mods can activate that will start sending messages to the person’s telegram or whatever, pretending to be interested in cloned credit cards.

It wouldn’t be that hard to make one that would send a little “probe” message to make sure it was a for-real scammer, and then if they respond positively, then absolutely flood them with thousands of interested responses. Make it more or less impossible for them to sort the genuine responses from the counter-spam, waste their time, make it not worth their while to come and fuck up our community. And if they lose their temper it can save some of the messages and post them to some sort of wall of victory.

What do people think?

    It is a nice idea… but it involves some effort on this side to get that done, and I don’t think anyone would be interested. People on dbzer0, maybe, everyone else, I don’t think so.

      I’m volunteering to be the one to put the code together.

      don’t underestimate basement dwellers, they have way too much time on their hands. if one is sufficiently serotoninized, they might actually do it.

        They don’t have enough "jerk-off-to” (or whatever their social depravities) incentive might be.

        Lemmy is not at that critical point yet.
