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!

    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.

      I’m an admin of a smaller instance.

      I can remove posts, ban, etc anyone from any instance.

      However, this only affects MY users.

      So if I banned you right now, nothing would really happen except that my users could no longer see your content and you wouldn’t be able to participate in any community on my instance.

      Now if I take action on a user/post/community on my instance, that will affect everyone else.

        Thanks for the explanation. So somewhat like email, except you can host content, not just users.

      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.

        How the heck is it even kept running? Doesn’t that cost money?

          It’s just a computer left running - probably not much. If the admin is really gone and not attending to it, the biggest probably might be the drive filling up, depending on how big it is.
