Lemmy.world Rammy Statement
Lemmy.world Rammy Statement
We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.
We have made attempts to contact the Rammy admins, which other instance admins have tried as well, to determine their current status. Due to their admins being absent and their unmoderated content growing in numbers, we will defederate from Rammy. If and when this situation changes, we will be happy to reevaluate our approach. It should be noted that any instances that have abandoned admin teams will be defederated.
that instance is full to the brim of crazies who have lost all grip on reality. they feel nothing but hate
Lemmys that have been touched by the Warp and fallen into Chaos.
It got really bad just over the past two days. I'm not sure if it's a raid from some right wing troll farm, or what it is. Defederation makes things easy though
What makes it possible right wing and not just a troll farm? Sincerely curious why make the divide and note.
EDIT: I checked it out, I see the issue with Rammy. And yes, there is a lot of spam/hate fest, it's not that all right wings are extremist just as much as "left wing" isn't all extremist. We're all people in the end and imo we shouldn't let it divide everything further by labels and stereotyping.
Nah, call the alt-right extremists out for what they are. Tankies too.
If you're a reasonable conservative, you shouldn't feel called out by condemnation of the extremists.
Apparently it came from Exploding Heads, an instance that Lemmy.world already defederated from.
Yeah I'm seeing those shitters in my feed, guess my instance is federated with them still
Yeah but defed has an issue where it might just lead to bigger echo chambers for the users.
Don't like this view, defed the instance and so and so forth. I think defed should only be used for last resort action like in this case an awful lot of spam. Just because their political views are left, right or center shouldn't be used as reason for defed.
What about how these assholes were harassing LGBTQ+ users with hate? Defederation was called for and urgently needed. That behavior is indefensible and breaks site rules.
Not really an issue. If you want to see this content from defederated instances that everyone else finds obnoxious or disruptive, then you can either browse from an instance that doesn’t defederate that content, or spin up your own personal instance to browse from. It’s easy to move to a different instance. Your choice.
Unfortunate but very much necessary to stop the spread of their hatred. This is why it's important to have a team of admins, so that it's less likely that the person running the server doesn't just disappear one day and they can continue maintaining it even if the main person isn't there. Maybe if you're an individual instance you can't afford to hire a team of people, but you could get a group of friends together and have all of you work together to run it, think of it like a group passion project it's important to make sure that something like this doesn't end up abandoned otherwise it can cause problems for others if people start abusing it.
I know a lot of people are in doubt about how bad it is, but I went there and I looked at it and it's honestly terrible worse than the Donald on Reddit (if anyone can remember that) we don't want to rehost that kind of stuff on this server, we don't want to be associated with those kinds of people, it's not worth it. They can still have their free speech on their platform, just not on our server and we don't have to put up with it.
Yes they can keep their hate on their own instances but they are not welcome in our house. Keep reporting these extremists wether they are right of left wing - because it's a never-ending fight.
Thank you for the update, seems like a reasonable approach
It’s interesting that they have their own instance, but can’t stand the fact that they got defederated, and have to keep finding ways to get that sweet attention they crave.
That's why it is important that everyone keeps reporting these things.
Question here. If a user suscribed to world wants to keep seing content from that instance, cant he just suscribe to some subs over there? I'm still trying to figure that part out. I'm on ml but can see some content from world.
No, you will not see content from Rammy on LW. If you want to interact with both you'll need to have an account on an instance that federates both. I'm sure there are some out there, and if not starting your own is an option.
That's not what they asked though.
The question wasn't that self-centered, it was asking if a user from an instance that defederated from another instance could still access content from the defederated instance through a direct manual subscription.
Fair enough!
Never even heard of it, but good looking out!
Good
So much drama I see on lemmy in one month than reddit in 10 years.
Neither the person who contacted you was a real user of that instance, nor their "concern" was legitimate.
Congrats. You got successfully manipulated. And opened yourself up for further future manipulations.
what are you talking about? 2 seconds on that instance and youll see hate speech and bigotry. this wasnt even mentioned in this post, only that they are defederating due to a lack of an admin team. personally, i would agree to defederating for either of these reasons. in this case we have both. if you dont see a problem with that instance as it is currently, you are part of the problem and should leave too.
The instance in question was practically dead before this stupid thread gave it attention.
I'll bet you money that concerned user didn't exist 3 day ago.
Instance admins should learn how to be smarter, and not give manipulators small wins, alas, they will come back for bigger ones.
No, no, no. Clearly Rammy needs the enlightened guidance of Dot World. We must anschluss Rammy into the Greater Dot World.
Time for me to leave Lemmy.world for good.
Are we at an airport?
And nothing of value was lost
Airplane to Fuckville leaving at 9am.
