@[email protected] is spreading a disinfo campaign trying to rebrand horrible ideas as “not nazi.” I don’t know where else to warn people about this. We are pushing for an instance ban, but the admin at SDF tends to be slow to reach.

Edit: Look at the modlog. I beg of any instance admin that sees the ban and removal reasons alone, including a ban reason of “tranny” , I hope to hell they break your instance rules. You should instance ban this moron to keep the spread down.

Edit 2: It has been more than a day now with not even a “We will look into it.” kind of reply from the admin. It may be time to look into defederation. We are effectively abandoned.

Edit for an update:

    Hijacking this useful ping to say that I absolutely would not hold a grudge over defederation due to this. We can’t get in touch with the admin. They are likely asleep. Please remember, though, that aside from this BS, it is just a quiet nerdy instance full of Unix lovers.

    Edit: autocorrect typos

      Me neither. If the mods don’t respond to or address this issue by tomorrow I will begin advocating defederation from lemmy.sdf.org because if they aren’t willing or able to moderate hate speech, then they aren’t a safe instance to be on or be around.

        Yeah, seems like they need a spare emergency admin or two in different time zones. Hell, every instance that doesn’t require approval to create communities needs those, imo

          Most instances with a larger userbase really need to have a 24 hour team, “mods are asleep” should never happen on a server with a large userbase. The disruptions that can cause in cases like this are unacceptable.

          Yeah it definitely is. They should be way more attentive when it comes to moderation, as well as maintenance of their services. I still remember having to beg them to update from 0.19.2 to 0.19.3 because the instance was broken and not federating (couldn’t even log in) it was so difficult to get them to do that. They did do it but it shouldn’t have been anywhere near that hard.
