Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.
Part of the problem is the instance’s open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup. This in combination with an inactive admin is a recipe for abuse.
We hope this is only temporary but we have to do this to protect our users.
Edit: we use fediseer, have a look https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world
Edit 2: We got in touch with the Feddit.nl admin. Email requirements were added to the sign-up process and we’re setting up a communication channel. So that means we are federating with Feddit.nl again!
This is part of the growing pains, once moderation tools mature, this type of federation will be less of an issue.
I think so too, especially if and when users get the ability to block entire instances. That will prevent some of the defederation-for-wrongthink (in either direction, it doesn’t matter), and as it matures, I think the “accidentally hosting CSAM” will be less of an issue as well.
Sharing Nazi views and spewing racist vitriol isn’t “wrongthink”, now you really seem to come across as concern trolling and disingenuous (especially putting it in quotations).
A user blocking an entire instance still means their hateful members can post and clog up another one. We don’t need Lemmy.world turning into truth.social. People don’t want to see or read that garbage or be exposed to it, this isn’t a “both sides” issue.
Uhh… what quotations?
I’ve already said, I’m being completely genuine. And it’s why I said “in either direction”, because lemmygrad defederates from stuff too.
You put the term “wrongthink” in quotes, as if using racial slurs and promoting white supremacy (which is what one instance was defederated for) is just normal discourse that should be tolerated. The things they’re defederating for are not minor or petty. This very post cites CSAM as a reason.
I’m done with this, I don’t think you’re actually sincere and just want Lemmy to be Voat or 8chan.
I literally did not use quotes. I’m very confused. Are you mistaking me for someone else? I will say it again, I’m very sincere. White supremacy (along with any type of racism) is fucking stupid. I used the term wrongthink because it goes both ways- lemmygrad would consider capitalism wrongthink.
