They’re trying really hard to make their AI-plagiarized slop “news” site happen. You’ll see posts linking to primestories24 [dot] com but they’re AI slop regurgitating likely legit news articles. Every “reporter” has some generic profile that is most likely the system prompt used for everything they “write”.

If you see a post to that domain, report it as spam. The accounts all look similar to this:

• @Bellar36@beehaw.org
• @Belinda42@lemmy.wtf
• @tatyana43@piefed.ca
• @Graham43@sopuli.xyz
• @Belinda43@fedia.io
• @belinda35@piefed.social
• @PrimeStories247@lemmy.ca (First ban-evasion alt)
• @PrimeStories24@sh.itjust.works (Original account)

This list isn’t comprehensive.

Update: They are now using sockpuppet alts to vote/boost their posts. Just found @Babrah28@ttrpg.network that way and, surprise surprise, it was registered the same time as the latest batch.

Note: Technically the above is violating rule 7 if you consider spambots to be members. I don’t, but if this is a problem, let me know, and I’ll remove that part.

The domain was registered in May of 2026 and is roughly when these accounts started popping up.

Admins, I’m aware Lemmy is severely lacking in moderation capability, but one thing it does have is domain blocking. That prevents posting to those domains and it now seems to prevent links to those domains from federating in.
