What a shitshow.

Update from in the post from u/CardboardElite

Edit: Entire mod team received a 7-day suspension. I still cannot login on my account.

Edit2: Admins seem to be saying this was done to prevent subs spamming sexually explicit content. On r/MildlyInteresting we did NOT do this or intend to do this, as was clear in the update that the admins manually removed:

To be clear - this does NOT mean we are allowing pornographic, sexually explicit or illegal content. Our existing rules will still apply. We are simply embracing our proud history of user-curated lewd fruit and vegetable content. This history includes, but is not limited to, photos of oddly-shaped produce, landscape features reminiscent of genitalia, or other quirky sights that might cause one to raise an eyebrow. https://i.imgur.com/DwXEb8K.png

Edit3: The entire r/MildlyInteresting team has been unsuspended and reinstated.

ModMail from a different admin (not ModCoC) explains that we were apparently “swept up in actions” that they were taking against “communities that were encouraging sexually explicit content”. Situation remains really unclear, and the fact we were a mistake does not excuse r/interestingasfuck being targeted or any of the other 5 subs.

Edit4: Please be aware that NSFW content on Reddit is opt-in. Nobody who did not manually opt-in to see “adult content” was exposed to it through r/interestingasfuck and other subs. We might have been a mistake, but that doesn’t excuse the others.

I’m not an instance admin nor am I a mod. I just started using Lemmy a couple of days ago. First, respect to you for taking the time to come up with solutions. I think your solution is at the limit of what you can do to keep bad actors from creating instances and start spamming. We need to accept it will not solve all the spam. Just like there’s is still spam in the comment section on YouTube but alot less compared to a year or so ago. But, maybe having a more granular trust system of instances could be a solution to prevent smaller instances from being locked out. For example a new instance would be allowed to be whitelisted sooner than they would be allowed to endorse or guarantee other instances? Or doesn’t that work in the case of Lemmy?

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/db0 from lemmy.dbzer0.com just made a blog about a new tool he created to use a chain of trust between instances to whitelist instances in an effort to prevent spam maybe contact them about it? https://dbzer0.com/blog/overseer-a-fediverse-chain-of-trust/

The admin https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/db0 from the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance possibly made a solution that uses a chain of trust system between instances to whitelist each other and build larger whitelists to contain the spam/bot problem. Instead of constantly blacklisting. For admins and mods maybe take a look at their blog post explaining it in more detail. https://dbzer0.com/blog/overseer-a-fediverse-chain-of-trust/

I hear you. For what it’s worth it is mentioned in the end of the blog post, the project is open source, people can run their own overseer API and create less strict or more strict whitelists, instances can also be registered to multiple chains. Don’t mistake my enthousiasm for self run open social media platforms for trying to promote a single tool as the the be-all and end-all solution. Under the swiss cheese security model/idea, this could be another tool in the toolbox to curb the annoyance to a point where spam or bots become less effective. Edit: *The be-all and end-all *not be and end all solution
