We probably should keep a record of this stuff somewhere publicly available so people can just look up these questions.
Most likely it was due to vulnerabilities, people setting up spambots, or posting csm, or something else of that nature. We'll need an admin to say for sure though, as I don't recall any announcement. Generally LW only defeds due to really, really noxious or illegal stuff though.
posting csm, or something else of that nature.
Fosstodon are just as vigilant against that kind of stuff, so I'd be surprised if it went under their radar and was posted to lemmy.world, but none of the other big mastodon instances had that problem.
I thought this kinda thing would be in modlog but doesnβt seem like it.
