After seeing some of the comments coming from it I’ve added it to our blocklist.
For the record: the only good transphobe is a dead transphobe.
Have a good day everyone!
lmaooooooooo yeah block em
Yikes.
Those are some confused people.
No to nazis / desantis for president(the omega fascist) / the fourth reich…
I bet they’re talking about ‘the real nazis’ who will turn out to be democrats that are intolerant of race hate and misogyny…
Thanks man, and thanks for hosting this instance.
Rightwing loserdom is a cancer. Glad you caught it before it spread!
Hell yeah
Thank you!!
Was the entire instance blocked because of bad comments? How many people are on that instance?
They apparently don’t have any admins, so many instances have been forced to defederate from them until that changes.
How do admins actually work on Lenny? Do they also review what the users are saying on other instances?
I expected that each !topic had its own admins, as (other than obviously offensive stuff) a comment’s acceptability depends on the context.
(A bad example ‘Hitler did nothing wrong’ is probably bannable in any history sub; but is fine in !bizzaroSuperman)
Edit: I suspect many people are like me and using an app that doesn’t make it obvious what instance they are getting info from. I have subscriptions, but fediverse is still relatively small so I end up browsing All after I quickly get through the subscription feed.
Communities have mods, instances have admins. Admins can do anything instance-wide, including delete communities, ban users, etc. Apparently the admin of that instance has gone, but left it running, so right wing extremists are making communities and allowing comments that most admins would delete/ban. I’ve seen posts on multiple instances calling for defederation from rammy.
Ah that makes sense now. Thanks.
The comments are symptomatic of the instance itself being unmoderated. The instance admin is MIA and right-wingers are using that absence to create a cesspit.
Thank you!!
Thank you!
seems a bit premature as there are almost no posts there but maybe the admin will come back and straighten things out
It’s not that there is a problem there, it’s that they are bringing their hate into other instances. Several instances have already defederated with them, and I expect more will follow. Basically the fediverse version of “fuck around and find out”. They are finding out that when you are an bad neighbor, the people of the neighborhood are going to shun you.
And it’s not like we couldn’t re-federate if the admin did come and “straighten things out”, but until then, it’s a bad neighbor and we put up fence to keep their shit on their side.
There was at least one transphobe posting his nonsense here, from that site. Maybe more, I haven’t looked at the modlog.
