There's a person who is spam creating hundreds of communites with impossibly long descriptions on world, why haven't they been banned yet? (lemmy.world)

do you also ban the IP or is it too much?

Lemmy doesn't have an option for that but we're looking into it

I guess it's achievable with hosting you're using (with nginx ip block list for example if you're using it)

If they’re using Cloudflare it can do this too. Even the free tier, you can have one monstrously long WAF rule to ban a bunch of IPs
