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!

Those are some confused people.

No to nazis / desantis for president(the omega fascist) / the fourth reich....

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It looks very much like two guys with no moderation deciding to make sublemmies at each other, which is why it seems so contradictory

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

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.

Seeing Docker in that list made me chuckle

An instance with an absent admin, taken over by opportunistic shitheads.

Thanks man, and thanks for hosting this instance.

Rightwing loserdom is a cancer. Glad you caught it before it spread!

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 years ago

Ayyyy!

Was the entire instance blocked because of bad comments? How many people are on that instance?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They apparently don't have any admins, so many instances have been forced to defederate from them until that changes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the explanation. So somewhat like email, except you can host content, not just users.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Ah that makes sense now. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

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.
