We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.

We have made attempts to contact the Rammy admins, which other instance admins have tried as well, to determine their current status. Due to their admins being absent and their unmoderated content growing in numbers, we will defederate from Rammy. If and when this situation changes, we will be happy to reevaluate our approach. It should be noted that any instances that have abandoned admin teams will be defederated.

how does that work - I mean, who's paying the bills for the instance if it's unmoderated? weird

[-] magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh 29 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's not actually abandoned. Just providing plausible deniability that way.

It's running an older version of Lemmy, so it's not being updated.

How much bandwidth/resource do you need? If you had a 4core nas, running unraid and a gigabit connection for example

Could you set this up and nearly forget about it?

[-] magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh 22 points 1 year ago

Rammy is running 0.18.0 which still has the bloated postgres database issue, so storage should be ramping up real fast. It is still technically possible to forget about it, don't get me wrong. I was merely pointing out it is not the only possibility.

Sorry I wasn't questioning you, was just genuinely curious and it got me thinking.

Could somebody set an instance up on a nes or home server, forget about it and it becomes completely rogue? At what point would any instance defederate if they never updated too?

Could somebody set an instance up on a nes

I think that in order to run Lemmy you'd need at least a PlayStation.

Nah mate, PS2 at minimum, and only with a fresh memory card

No worries, I took no offense.

Technically yes one could, absolutely. No disputing that. Automatic defederation is not a thing afaik, so it would stay federated.

I run a script daily on my instance to defederate suspicious instances (no post but thousands of users for example) but not everybody does.

It's not necessarily super expensive for someone who wants to host an instance, whether it's at home or via server providers. Hosting a GOOD and high-traffic instance might cost more but still any nerd with disposable income can do it if they want.
