Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.
Part of the problem is the instance’s open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup. This in combination with an inactive admin is a recipe for abuse.
We hope this is only temporary but we have to do this to protect our users.
Edit: we use fediseer, have a look https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world
Edit 2: We got in touch with the Feddit.nl admin. Email requirements were added to the sign-up process and we’re setting up a communication channel. So that means we are federating with Feddit.nl again!
Hiya! Question, is there a way we can see this sort of information ourselves as well? Namely, reports and admin activity logs.
What’s to stop an instance, then a collection of instances and so on from claiming others aren’t being actively moderated in order to censor?
Not making any accusations obviously, just a thought I had while reading.
The modlog for the entire instance is available in a link at the bottom and the sidebar on the main page. Everything should be there.
I mean, it’s easy to go over to feddit.nl and see they only have one admin who has not been active in almost two weeks.
Full transparancy: the abuse we were dealing with from that instance was vote manipulation and worse, csam. Especially in the case of csam we can not wait for days for a reaction.
Were they the source of the csam attack posts the other week when we removed picture uploads temporarily?
Users. That’s why it is mentioned there is no email required during sign-up. They create an account in seconds, make a post and then delete their account.
