  • Preemptively defederates from hexbear as a “last-resort”

    We had our reasons to preemptively defederate and that has proven to be the correct action - just check what giving them a chance did for https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/

    Takes days to defederate from exploding-heads

    Yes, days is a long time now? We were still (one of) the first to defederate with them.

    Takes days to defederate from rammy.site despite knowing its been taken over by exploding-heads

    The instance you are on (lemmy.one) never was defederated with rammy.site. When rammy.site was overtaken by Exploding Heads members we tried to contact the site admin first. When he didn’t reply we defederated. That took about a day.

    Wonders why people think you are a Nazi instance

    Yes. But I know you’re not here to argue in good faith. Your post history and this statement screams “Hexbear user on his alt”.


  • I really don’t get the “oversight” part of keeping someone who is banned from a community on the moderator team there. Can you give me an example how this would make sense?

    The modlog breaking XXXX amount of days bug was reported to the devs by me btw. And it was fixed on 12/08: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2058

    It just feels like you are looking for excuses to keep defederated while there is no actual problem that can not be handled by working together as admins. We’ve always said we are open to discuss actions but you’ve always said when the “when modtools are available”. Now it’s a culture problem - how are Lemmy World users different from lemm.ee, midwest.social, programming.dev or other instances? And what do you propose should be done to tackle these issues?








  • If a mod is banned from the community they mod, they can still take mod actions

    Why not remove them as mod? I don’t understand why you would keep anyone in the mod team that has been banned from the community?

    If you get site-banned from Beehaw while you are from another instance, you can still post on the community and people from that instance and kbin can see your posts

    Yes that is a problem with Lemmy in general. But why this only seen as a problem for people from Lemmy World and sh.itjust.works?

    The modlog is not chronological

    We fix this by having enough admins to go through these reports as soon as possible.

    The modlog breaks if you ban someone for more than 4 digit days.

    Why ban for 9999 days if you can leave it empty and perma-ban?

    Anyway, I agreed that there are a lot of issues that haven’t improved, but at least I heard that users will be able to block instances themselves soon so fingers crossed. But Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and sh.itjust.works very early on and in the meantime they are federated with instances that are as big as Lemmy.World was back then.







  • Hi,

    I’m speaking on behalf of the admin team of Lemmy World - we feel like we have to step in here and give some feedback to the things being said in this thread and give our perspective.

    About “Supporting nazi’s”:

    So we support nazi’s because it took us ‘long’ to defederate from exploding heads? That’s straight up false. We were one of the first instances to defederate with them and advocated heavily to have them defederated on other instances. FYI Lemmy World as a whole is just over 2 months old and so is this post: https://lemmy.world/post/747912

    There was an issue early on with the original moderator of the Lemmy World https://lemmy.world/c/conservative community which was handled instantly:

    1. The problematic moderator https://lemmy.world/u/OptionHome that was posting misinformation (and worse) was banned
    2. The https://lemmy.world/c/conservative community was given to other moderators.
    3. We asked people to stop bombaring the /c/conservative community with anti-conservative posts as to allow civil discourse. https://lemmy.world/post/149519
    4. The https://lemmy.world/c/maga community was also banned

    We take a hard stance on extremism from both sides of the political spectrum, and we believe that civil discourse should always be the first option. We ban hate communities on sight no matter whose side they are on, and we work hard to resolve the hundreds of reports we receive each day. As of today, 3733 users were banned from Lemmy.World, and that number will probably have gone up by the time you read this comment. We follow-up on moderation teams if we see reports that stay open for too long and if communities are abandoned we actively look to replace the moderation team.

    So we ask everyone to keep sending in reports when you see any post that breaks the Lemmy World rules which can be found here: https://lemmy.world/legal.

    About Beehaw’s decision to defederate with us: Even though we don’t agree with it, we have always been supportive of Beehaw and their choice to defederate with us until the mod tools improve. Even when the question gets posted in our community we defended the decision: https://lemmy.world/post/895811.

    But wether or not Beehaw will refederate with us is ofcourse 100% your decision.
