How much effort would it be for them to create a new one and do it again?

Minimal, but it is the domain that gets blocked so the attacker would still need to purchase a new domain.

Would you like the admins to permaban them?

Oh, my bad! Also congratulations.

Looking into this, btw

@williams_482@startrek.website thoughts here?

One of our Admins still moderates their Reddit community, but we are also in regular contact with the other mods who chose to stay behind.

StarTrek.website typically sees 1-2 (approved) registrations per day. We have 12 approved in the past 48 hours.

It’s been a long road, but this issue is finally resolved.

We’re not opposed to hosting non-Star Trek communities as long as they adhere to instance guidelines, but before you move you should know that the federation gap with .world is closing and should be finally caught up before the end of the week.

Time for startrek.website/c/theymightbegiants?

No worries at all, we want to make sure we’re providing a fast and reliable (well, as fast and reliable as is possible with beta software at least!) experience. Like I said I don’t notice .world missing very much but that doesn’t mean we don’t realize the value their communities provide to the overall ecosystem.

What was the community/post? It’s possible we removed it on our side (Also we are up to 4 days behind now, progress!).

Personally I don’t prefer the .world versions of most communities so I haven’t noticed much difference.

Hey just want to update you on this, we made some changes that appear to be working. We’ve gone from 1.47 weeks behind to 1.42. You can see the recent change here.

Oh, very nice! And yes, the blue was chosen because it matches with the default Lemmy upvote color.

Startrek.website has banned the user and blocked/purged the communities.

As ValueSubtracted said please report. Reporting alerts startrek.website admins and the admins of the user’s home instance. If we notice another instance regularly not cleaning out their trash, we have the option to defederate from them.

Here is our FAQ. What kind of communities are you most interested in? I’d be happy to make some recommendations.
