There seems to be an ongoing spam attack against some networks, trying to make postmarketOS and other related projects look bad. They're impersonating various pmOS team members as well as some linux-amlogic community members and other folks.

They're known to target irc.pine64.org and inevitably other networks. This seems to be targetted spam by "supernets"/"HOUDINI" spammers.

Ugh...

Can't wait for f_|er to join and spam, like z3ntu|iest, lvrp16|inger, narmstrong|est, linmob_net|er, and caleb|iest, just to name a few of the nicks they use for spamming.

@vitali64sur Can we just autoban anyone who posts YouTube or Discord links?

@zachdecook @vitali64sur

a nicer way would just throw an error when you want to post a yt or discord or fb link..

@pocketvj @zachdecook Since then irc.pine64.org has got some antiflood measures applied which *should* reduce spam.

@pocketvj @zachdecook And just for fun, I registered funderscore|ian, funderscore|er, f_|ian, f_|er, etc :)
