Please Consider Defederating from Rammy.site
3 years ago by PowerfulTurtle to c/lemmy
Admins of Lemmy.ml please consider defederating from rammy.site it has been taken over by right wing malicious actors from exploding-heads.com and the admin is nowhere to be found.
It is imperative that you take action as soon as possible the users on rammy are using the site to spread their messages to a further audience, we must nip this in the bud. If you don't believe me check the instance for yourself, you'll see it dominated with bigoted right wing posts and spam communities.
Glad I could help
Yeah I hope he can salvage the instance whenever he gets back, if he ever gets back. He'll probably have to wipe it clean and get a new domain honestly. This is why if setting up a Lemmy instance it's important that you always get a team of people to work together as admins, that way there's always someone there to take care of the problem and you don't end up in situations like this.
Tell me about it, I just logged on the other day expecting to go post in !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I'm greeted with transphobic and climate denial posts on the front page. Really didn't know what the hell was going on.
It's not his instance though, he's not an admin he can't do anything about it.
BE: 0.18.0
that isn't that long ago, as in July 1 Reddit API app deadline
Nuh uh.
What are the consecuences of defederating?
You'll no longer be able to retrieve content from the de-federated instance and they'll no longer be able to communicate with yours.
Still seems like it's federated to me, I got your reply notification.
Figured out what it was, rammy only works through https, typing in rammy.site without the https:// causes it to go automatically to http:// which doesn't connect. It also works though Tor because Tor forces https unconditionally and won't connect to sites without it.
I'm on the Desktop site.
didnt we have this discussion yesterday? looks like rammy.site has more subscribers and more communities now. is this like false flag advertising or reverse psychology, etc?
I don't know I'm not on lemmy.ml I just noticed this shit in my feed earlier and I made the post to !main@lemmy.blahaj.zone warning them to defederate because of the invasion of toxic bigots from exploding-heads
I made this post to spread the warning to the largest instances in hopes of stopping the spread of this plague.
They'll just create more communities, have you seen the community spam on here lately? If they did that fighting against each other do you really think they wouldn't evade community bans on lemmy.world? Defederation is the only way unless the admin comes back and does a sweeping IP ban of everyone posting shit on here, followed by defederating exploding-heads. I don't foresee that happening though, admin has been MIA for over a month with no sign of returning and there's almost no activity here besides me and the assholes from EH.
Same can be said about your POV.
Why is it always people telling us we need to associate with Nazis because "it's not a big deal just let them do their Nazi stuff in peace? "
It isn't the subject matter. It's the aggressive and intentional disruption that's coordinated to disrupt other instances. They don't just make shitty communities and post shitty things, they then start shit in other instances' communities. That's why they need defederation, not their political views or post subjects.

Thank you. I'm on a small, but growing, instance and I'm defederating from them immediately.
I appreciate the heads up.
