After seeing some of the comments coming from it I’ve added it to our blocklist.
For the record: the only good transphobe is a dead transphobe.
Have a good day everyone!
You must log in or # to comment.
lmaooooooooo yeah block em
Those are some confused people.
No to nazis / desantis for president(the omega fascist) / the fourth reich…
I bet they’re talking about ‘the real nazis’ who will turn out to be democrats that are intolerant of race hate and misogyny…
Something something tolerance paradox
It looks very much like two guys with no moderation deciding to make sublemmies at each other, which is why it seems so contradictory
“The card says moops!”
Hell yeah everyone go watch The Alt-Right Playbook on YT, it’s awesome.
No confusion, they’re just willfully lying so they can trick people into legitimizing their instance. Nazis know no one likes Nazis, and they’re not principled enough to publicly use the term despite that. Easier to get young lonely people in the pipeline if they pretend to be something else first.
Hmm… wonder what that says about the (multiple) “say no to groomers” ones…?
Those bike repairers are the worst of all.
If this was a men in black recruitment test, i would definitly shoot the bike repair people.
Wishing them nothing but screws in their treads and the most tangled chains ❤️
I hope they can never get their master link to go together.

Damn those Docker people!!1!
Seeing Docker in that list made me chuckle
The fuck is that place? Jesus.
An instance with an absent admin, taken over by opportunistic shitheads.
Yikes.
Hell made its way to Lemmy
Now that is foul 😳
Thanks man, and thanks for hosting this instance.
Rightwing loserdom is a cancer. Glad you caught it before it spread!
Ayyyy!
Thank you for the solidarity and support as a user of blahaj.zone and trans person.
Hell yeah
Thank you!!
I love that bike repair is sandwiched in there. 😂
And Hexbear has just joined your Federation list
Was the entire instance blocked because of bad comments? How many people are on that instance?
They apparently don’t have any admins, so many instances have been forced to defederate from them until that changes.
How do admins actually work on Lenny? Do they also review what the users are saying on other instances?
I expected that each !topic had its own admins, as (other than obviously offensive stuff) a comment’s acceptability depends on the context.
(A bad example ‘Hitler did nothing wrong’ is probably bannable in any history sub; but is fine in !bizzaroSuperman)
Edit: I suspect many people are like me and using an app that doesn’t make it obvious what instance they are getting info from. I have subscriptions, but fediverse is still relatively small so I end up browsing All after I quickly get through the subscription feed.
I’m an admin of a smaller instance.
I can remove posts, ban, etc anyone from any instance.
However, this only affects MY users.
So if I banned you right now, nothing would really happen except that my users could no longer see your content and you wouldn’t be able to participate in any community on my instance.
Now if I take action on a user/post/community on my instance, that will affect everyone else.
Thanks for the explanation. So somewhat like email, except you can host content, not just users.
Communities have mods, instances have admins. Admins can do anything instance-wide, including delete communities, ban users, etc. Apparently the admin of that instance has gone, but left it running, so right wing extremists are making communities and allowing comments that most admins would delete/ban. I’ve seen posts on multiple instances calling for defederation from rammy.
How the heck is it even kept running? Doesn’t that cost money?
It’s just a computer left running - probably not much. If the admin is really gone and not attending to it, the biggest probably might be the drive filling up, depending on how big it is.
Ah that makes sense now. Thanks.
The comments are symptomatic of the instance itself being unmoderated. The instance admin is MIA and right-wingers are using that absence to create a cesspit.
“total”: 401, “activeMonth”: 29, “activeHalfyear”: 45
Thank you!!
Thank you.
Thank you!
seems a bit premature as there are almost no posts there but maybe the admin will come back and straighten things out
It’s not that there is a problem there, it’s that they are bringing their hate into other instances. Several instances have already defederated with them, and I expect more will follow. Basically the fediverse version of “fuck around and find out”. They are finding out that when you are an bad neighbor, the people of the neighborhood are going to shun you.
And it’s not like we couldn’t re-federate if the admin did come and “straighten things out”, but until then, it’s a bad neighbor and we put up fence to keep their shit on their side.
There was at least one transphobe posting his nonsense here, from that site. Maybe more, I haven’t looked at the modlog.
Does anyone not see that you’re giving these people attention with these posts? Just block em. I’d literally never seen or heard of that instance until people started posting about it. I visited it out of curiosity and sorted by top all time and they didn’t have any posts with over 20 up votes. It’s a small dead instance just block it, but stop giving it attention.

What attention are you objecting to? Is it the “we defederated with them” attention that explains what happened or the “this is why” attention that, well, explains why?
Both of these are big parts of the transparency of Lemmy which I’d much rather see continue
I don’t think most instances have enough users to get 20 upvotes on their posts. That’s not a very good indicator.
Federation info is public, and people will ask questions.
“Defederated from unadministered instance X” is exactly the kind of message I would expect to see.
Kicking transphobes just because is a nice added bonus.
