Yes, do so. And share it with lemmy.world.

Ah, that seems like a miss. It should’ve been a permaban. Here you go.

I’m pretty sure our stats at the sidebar would say otherwise. There is no constant downtime, hasn’t been since months.

We were one of the first, if not the first, to do that. :)

😉

It’s more a question of if you want do deal with it at all. :)

Let’s keep in mind this doesn’t really mean anything for Lemmy instances. It is open source.

Hello @toasteecup@lemmy.world, thank you for sharing your concerns and curiosity with us. We are aware of the type of hateful content you mentioned, and, as always, are doing our best to not keep hateful content on our instance.

We are discussing the request for defederation, but the consensus is that this may not be needed, since the 0.19 Lemmy update is expected to roll out in the upcoming weeks. This update will also enable users to block whole instances, and hopefully, address a big chunk of the issue we seem to be having here.

Regarding your question as to why the poster was banned: they were banned for 1 day, due to the same type of hateful and dehumanising content that would get any other user banned. The defederation request was also posted to several communities by the same user. The ban issued was only for 1 day, because the user was a regular member that would normally be trusted. We are aware they might not have had bad intentions, and needed time to cool off.

I hope these answers were enough to satisfy your question. Take care, and with love.

hell yea good move for him after smoking for years. cigarettes suck

yes

woooooo!

you guys should be posting like, weed, or memes, or something.

Can we not have such a narrow perception of our language? The word retard was never strictly used for people with mental disabilities. It has long been used as an alternative to foolish/dumb/stupid, and you’re not restricting it anytime soon.

In this case, by joining lemmy.world ;)

At least you’re not openly spreading misinformation about us anymore. And no, the troll wasn’t a reason behind any action, we banned the troll and all his alts before anyone else did. That drama just brought more attention to the matter at the time, it was waiting to happen anytime.

We can remove everything that is federated, as far as we’re concerned.

Welcome aboard! 😎
