Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.
What the fuck and can we do something about it?
Honestly these type of scat spamming has been really discouraging on me. I spend time and money so that the community can have a reliable and nice instance to call home, only to have a few (not sure what to call them) people try to ruin it for everyone. If these people are reading this comment, just know that every time you make these kinds of unwanted posts you are taking my time away from my family and young kids to address the reports.
My nights lately have been mostly used for coding some extra moderation tools that will moderate these in the future.
I sincerely apologize for all of you who have been exposed to literal shit images over the last week. I’m working as fast as I can and will implement something soon.
In the meanwhile i’ve added a few new admins to help with this moderation.
That says more about that admin then about Lemmy.
It does, but it’s the way Lemmy is designed that gives the admin so much “power” to take chunks of the fediverse offline for others
But what keeps you from creating a feddit.de account? What we really need is a client that can navigate multiple instances with separate accounts seamlessly.
I don’t want to create multiple accounts just so I can access all the content, that is not why I am here for. Furthermore, I don’t want to write an essay who I am and why I want to join feddit.de.
That’s a you problem.
The fact that you can defederate is actually one of the big, important points of… well, federation. Freedom of association.
As other commenter said, you are free to join feddit.de (and any other instance). They are independent instances, like different webpages. If the content is important to you, and it is not accessible from here, just join them!
But let’s not blame federated networks since this is exactly one of their sellong points.
