It’s quite sad to watch unfold, but the admin of rammy has been basically MIA all month and exploding-heads users and admin (which we have been de-federated from for a while) has taken notice and has decided to invade and set up shop there to just generally push their stuff into the federation. Entire front page is a hate fest against LGBT people and just general foul bigotry. Hopefully the rammy admin comes back and cleans stuff up, and then we can hopefully re-federate (if they want to.)

Just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was curious why another instance was added to the blocked server list :/

    Unfortunately if people are going to allow hate groups to invade there instance defederate is the only way to deal with it

      Fwiw it’s cool that there is even a way to deal with it as individual communities unlike Reddit which would have to have site admin intervention

        And that intervention would probably take a while to happen, tbh. I still think defederation should be the absolute last resort, but I’ve read mod tools are still not on the level to adequately deal with this sort of stuff.

          Historically the admins would just look the other way until Reddit started getting negative press over it. If not for the negative attention those subs brought to the site Spez would probably still be hosting jailbait, altright, and incels.
