Defederated from Feddit.nl. Update: Refederated!

lwadmin@lemmy.worldmod to Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world – 982 points –

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!

Please read the rest of this thread to see how I deal with non-idiots.

@PrinceHabib72 I did, that's why I suspected initially that you might be a concern troll. Some people feed off of conflict for they crave the adrenaline rush that arguments create. So they're contrarian for the sake of being contrarian and be antagonized online. It happens.
