The attacker seems to be the admin of those two instances. Both instances have their registrations closed.

Edit: It is now open for both of them, or was already. I checked the Fediseer page for both instances and it still says that their registrations are closed.

Though it is suspicious that no captcha, email confirmation or manual approval is required for both of these instances. The admin of lemmy.doesnotexist.club seems to be inactive since their account creation yet this instance is still running. If the admin is the attacker, it could also be that they are the one behind the recent nicole spam.

A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn’t good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing ™

      Monk, seriously. Give it up. You got busted copying your Universal Monk comments word for word by the mods at /Politics. It’s over. Everyone knows it is you. If you truly wanted to make lemmy better, you’d stop trolling people with your alts and just leave and not hide out in your Universal Monk run communities where you can ban anyone that calls you out.

      At this point I am hoping that there should be very few left to buy this fake ass-kissing of yours.

      And hopefully, the mods of this community don’t fall for it and decide to check for themselves by reaching out to the /Politics mods.

      Ban evasion is taken pretty seriously. Especially by people that are legitimately trying to make lemmy awesome.
