Yeam me too. I moved to lemmy.ca though. It’s a nice instance, definitely more active though, but it doesn’t federate with rammy so I can feel safe there again.

That’s really nice soft looking grass, or are those the tiny ferns, either way I feel like it would be really nice to lay down in.

It’s better to have them forget about it and have the server and its communities locked than it is to have them left open to abuse in your absence. At least in the case of the locked one they can still use it on their communities on other instances (I see no reason to lock existing users, just registrations, community creation, and maybe posts and comments on hosted communities).

Having a team of admins is another good solution to this problem since if one disappears the others can still do the work while they are gone.

Yup it’s a proxy to circumvent defederation, they’re just posting shit there because at least when they started it was federated with many others. They’ll probably just flee elsewhere but this is why it’s very important to make sure you have people to manage the instance in case you aren’t able to anymore.

make sure to block burggit.moe as well they’re known for CSAM material, also lemmy.comfysnug.place for the same reasons.

I don’t know what’s going on with it, I doubt it’ll be around too much longer though, admin abandoned it and it’s probably due to run out of hosting or domain any time now.

Ah I think I know what’s going, try https://rammy.site and if that doesn’t work try accessing it through Tor (or brave browser in a Tor connection incognito tab).

Site is up for me, hasn’t gone down even once in the past few weeks.

I’ll try to help as much as I can but I’m in the process of finding a new instance, preferably one that doesn’t federate with rammy or exploding-heads because I know I’ll get plenty of DM harassment otherwise if I don’t due to my defederation campaign.

Trying to do it soon because rammy is unmoderated and I don’t want to be here when anyone worse comes and starts going to war on the instance with any amount of unspeakably horrible abusive material, there are some really disgusting and illegal lemmy instances out there and rammy has none of them blocked.

Though there is hope in the future, since rammy is abandoned eventually its hosting or domain-registration (whichever comes first) will run out and when it does the site will go down and their fun will be over.

In the meantime I’ll focus on spreading the word about rammy.site and making sure people know about this so they’ll never leave their instances abandoned, at least not without turning off registration first.

It’s not drastic considering the circumstances, the instance is unmoderated their admin isn’t available, that’s as good a reason as any to defederate them. The instance also doesn’t have a blocklist, it doesn’t block any instances it’s also on outdated software and being unmoderated that is a recipe for disaster.

I just looked at the instance list and they’re literally federated with burggit.moe so yeah I would definately describe this instance as a timebomb very much worth defederating, there actually aren’t any instances blocked on here on rammy which seems nice until you realize just how many known awful ones there are that are connected and accessible to rammy.

This shouldn’t even be something being debated, the instance is abandoned, people are posting hateful content, and it’s federated to the worst of the worst instances on the fediverse.

This is why I’m encouraging people to defederate from rammy, assholes like this are going to use it as a point to post shit to the rest of the instances. If it’s defederated they’re no better off than they were on exploding-heads and it’ll be harder for them to spread their hatred.

Have not been defederated, they’re not in the blocked section on the instances page.

Alright, will do that instead in the future. In hindsight I probably should’ve because they just came after me when they saw the posts.

Go look at what they’re posting and then come back here.

You dumb fuck, you’re one of the assholes running this stupid transphobic brigade, you literally created those communities it’s all your fault this is happening. They’re going to defederate us to keep you out of their safe space because assholes like you literally prey on us Queer folks. Idc if you specifically don’t physically attack us but your followers certain have and do, like it or not you’re responsible for the harm and loss of life that comes to queer people in those hate filled attacks because you platform those Nazis, and yes you are Nazis.

Lemmy.world defederated EH a while back and now the same people from EH are posting wild on rammy.site, seems like a pretty cut and dry argument for defederation to me, if the admin were here and cleaning these posts and communities up that would be different but he’s not and they’re still here so best to treat is the same as EH because for all intents and purposes it is the same as EH.

Defederation is not censorship. It is refusing to listen to or platform things that you don’t agree with i.e. bigots or nazis. Lemmy.world has defederated exploding heads so it stands to reason that they wouldn’t want to listen to the same assholes spewing the same crap on rammy.site

I’m on the Desktop site.
