    Looks like it's still federated on piefed.ca. Don't forget about us!

    Hey if you’re active, do you mind replying to all your false accusations you’re spewing all over the Fediverse?

    Please don't do that that. Hounding people in irrelevant threads just comes off as harassment and makes you look worse than them.

    Dunno about that. If that guys an asshole, I know about it now thanks to that other guy. That's a community service.

    Imagine if some guy in real life was a total mcasshole out around town and you were like "listen, he's just here trying to buy coffee, why are you bringing up the fact that he's a violent asshole"

    It’s not harassment you troll.

    Harassment is going around spreading lies and sharing secret ban lists with others and telling other people to attack you as well.

    Now that it's been just as long since the mod decided to assist the fascists of Piefed, I figured it's time to say;

    Go back to doing it. Fuck Rimu. I hope he stays burnt out for the shit he says and does.

    Harassment is when you want answers from fascists, not when you remove people and make shit up about them so they can't defend themselves.

    Mods here are on the side of PieFed, not a shock.

    Do you get that most of the moderation in this community is done by me? There’s not a big group of people scheming and the admins of this instance are busy elsewhere.

    I’d encourage you to browse through my comments and tell me by my content (or moderation actions) whose side I’m on.

    I think what you’ll find is I don’t get involved in the drama and frankly don’t want to. I do care about addressing reports and keeping the community functioning though.

    I’ve issued a single 1 day ban in this thread so far. That’s it. I’ve also asked the person above to stop their targeted harassment and I’ve already asked you as well to stop encouraging it (a position the admin of your instance echoed as well).

    There’s no fucking conspiracy here. You can’t use this community to find people in the comments and harass them about things happening outside this community.

    I'm perpetually shocked that there's zero vetting for federation...

    Like, I get needing to give a new instance a chance, but it feels like shared between all the admins that federate, keeping an eye on them wouldn't be hard for a probationary period.

    But like..

    Admins really saw a blank instance with "chan" being the only other word besides "lemmy" and thought shit was gonna cool?

    Is federation really automated to the point no human makes a decision? If so, that's an obvious flaw and trolls will just keep spinning up instances to troll from. If one person has to pay it all the time, it's a hassle. If ~100 people are pitching in or taking turns and they don't care what the domain is because they know it's temporary...

    Have admins even considered how to prepare for that?

    Some instances operate on an allowlist rather than just blindly being open, but honestly the number of problem instances is much lower than you might expect. Most are just wide open. Spinning up an instance will cost you some time and a domain, so it's not exactly a zero cost effort.

    Honestly I have no idea what "chan" has to do with this, I only know it as the japanese honorific. Edit: Oh, chan like 4chan? That one didn't occur to me.

    Instances can either be blocklisted or allowlisted. A given instance must choose one method or the other, and almost all instances choose the former. Hexbear is the only one I know that chose the later. They vet instances individually before allowing them. Keep in mind that the fediverse is not just Lemmy. It would be a lot of work to vet each new fediverse instance that comes along.

    Thanks!

    So it's just a setting they can flip at any time. When (not if) instance spam becomes an issue, there's already a way to address it.

    Keep in mind that the fediverse is not just Lemmy. It would be a lot of work to vet each new fediverse instance that comes along.

    This could (hopefully would) be mitigated by blocklist admins monitoring one of the resources that quantify instance activity after like x months. If everything checks out, let em in with a reminder in y months to circle back.

    Semi related:

    I've always wanted to see a mod list that breaks down "local". Like, you look at .worlds modlist from the main page, and it's every mod action from every federate instance.

    It makes it hard for users to see what their own admins are up, especially with how frequent these discussions is, I feel that option would increase transparency for how an instance moderates so users can make informed decisions where to set up roots.

    Yeah that'd be nice. Modlog has always left much to be desired. Although the core concept is great, it's not fleshed out enough to be as useful as it should be. Sometimes it can even be weaponized by rogue mods to slander certain users. Because when you ban someone, that mod action is permanent and you get to put whatever text you want as the ban reason.

    It definitely needs work but I can understand other things taking priority, considering most users will never interact with the modlog anyway.
