It’s better to have them forget about it and have the server and its communities locked than it is to have them left open to abuse in your absence. At least in the case of the locked one they can still use it on their communities on other instances (I see no reason to lock existing users, just registrations, community creation, and maybe posts and comments on hosted communities).
Yup it’s a proxy to circumvent defederation, they’re just posting shit there because at least when they started it was federated with many others. They’ll probably just flee elsewhere but this is why it’s very important to make sure you have people to manage the instance in case you aren’t able to anymore.
Ah I think I know what’s going, try https://rammy.site and if that doesn’t work try accessing it through Tor (or brave browser in a Tor connection incognito tab).
It’s not drastic considering the circumstances, the instance is unmoderated their admin isn’t available, that’s as good a reason as any to defederate them. The instance also doesn’t have a blocklist, it doesn’t block any instances it’s also on outdated software and being unmoderated that is a recipe for disaster.
I just looked at the instance list and they’re literally federated with burggit.moe so yeah I would definately describe this instance as a timebomb very much worth defederating, there actually aren’t any instances blocked on here on rammy which seems nice until you realize just how many known awful ones there are that are connected and accessible to rammy.
This shouldn’t even be something being debated, the instance is abandoned, people are posting hateful content, and it’s federated to the worst of the worst instances on the fediverse.
