Dear Admins of the Lemmy.world instance I am asking that you please consider defederating from the rammy.site instance as soon as possible as the admin is no where to be found and it has been taken over by right wing posters posting hateful messages. There are also other people posting large amounts of spam and creating empty communities. What was once a small hobby run general purpose instance has been turned over and made into a festering right wing hate filled breeding ground by the people from exploding-heads. The only recoarse left it seems is to defederate to prevent them from spreading hate to other instances.

PS. I already sent this message to multiple admins here, sorry about that I just felt it was urgent to make sure the message was sent before these people cause more damage.

They need to give us (the users) the ability to block instances. So people will stop posting this stuff all the time and we (the people) will have the power.

EDIT Also I love how people never have proof (links or screenshots) to prove you're not lying.

That feature definitely needs to be added soon..

However, instances that spread hate and propoganda should be defederated from regardless if people can block the instance individually. They should not be given an audience to radicalize.

I agree with both of these points, users definitely need the ability to block instances that they don't want to see

Instances which violate your home instance's rules or are a threat to the instance should be defederated to protect the users on that instance and maintain a healthy community.

This feature is available in Connect for Lemmy.

That's nice but only a frontend app filter. It should be platform independent and linked to the account, like blocked communities.

It also works in Nemmy.

Disclosure that I'm the main Nemmy dev :)

It was my experience that feature was janky and didn't actually work on Connect.

There is an open issue at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397 but I don't know if anyone is working on it.

EDIT Also I love how people never have proof (links or screenshots) to prove you’re not lying.

"That's awful, where can I find it" is what that sounds like.

I know you didn't intend it that way but it does kind of sound that way. Also if you do want to see it or you think I'm lying you can just go to https://rammy.site and see for yourself, it's not hard to find at all. I'm not going to post links to the posts though, that feels very much like promoting and/or endorsing them and I don't want to cater to people who want to look at awful stuff either as doom scrolling or because they're Nazis themselves, if I'm going to send links to anyone it would be the Admins of lemmy.world, I didn't feel the need though because like I said you can just go look there at the main page of the site.

Also it's already been defederated (hence why I'm now on Lemmy.ca) so I think this situation is resolved.

You can simply go to the website to check for yourself. No need to post vile stuff in here.
