Yeah, it seems like it was basically one person. Won’t name them here – they aren’t really doing anything wrong, and if it’s a problem for you it’s not like it’s hard to figure out who.
I actually assumed they were a bot, but they’re out there participating in normal conversations on communities I enjoy. Plus I don’t want to just block the entirety of ani.social, since I do actually watch anime and want to talk about it sometimes.
Ultimately I went with filtering out all “moe” communities, but I wish I could create a more specific rule.

IIRC it’s always on the same community (“moe” in the name?), so blocking that community should be enough

Nope, there are (were?) a gazillion different “moe” communities. I would block each community as I saw them, but it was becoming a little absurd. Ultimately I blocked every community with “moe” in the name, since I didn’t want to block non-art posts from that user. It’s a bit of a clunky solution though.
Just checked their account and they’re still going lol. Won’t name them here though. It’s not like you’d have trouble figuring out who they were if it’s a problem.
