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!

@PrinceHabib72 @antik are you concern trolling? Because this sounds like concern trolling. You know what they say, you let one Nazi in your bar, soon enough you'll own the Nazi bar.

I'm legitimately unfamiliar with the term. I'm being very genuine. I'm not sure what you mean about the Nazi bar, either. I'm encouraging users to curate their own experiences. Any time they see a Nazi, they can figuratively erase that Nazi from their personal existence. If they see a Nazi bar, they can erase that too. I object to being TOLD, rather than deciding for myself, what bars are Nazi bars.

@PrinceHabib72 The metaphor is not from the individual but from the bar owner's (or instance admin, if you will) POV.

One Nazi shows up at a bar, the owner goes to kick him out. But a concerned patron disuades him by saying that free speech is important and if anyone doesn't want to talk to the Nazi they are free to ignore him. They are perfectly capable of choosing who to talk to and don't stand to be TOLD who they can or can't talk to.

@PrinceHabib72 The next day the Nazi guy shows up with 9 of his friends. The other patrons notice the tattooed swastikas, banners and bigoted talk, it makes them uncomfortable. They ask the owner about, who says that they have not been rude or disturbed anyone.

But the word quickly spreads all over the neighborhood.

The third day, no other patron wants to go there anymore. Only the Nazis go to the bar. It's a Nazi bar now. And the owner is stuck with it.
