Admins of Lemmy.ml please consider defederating from rammy.site it has been taken over by right wing malicious actors from exploding-heads.com and the admin is nowhere to be found.

It is imperative that you take action as soon as possible the users on rammy are using the site to spread their messages to a further audience, we must nip this in the bud. If you don't believe me check the instance for yourself, you'll see it dominated with bigoted right wing posts and spam communities.

Thank you. I'm on a small, but growing, instance and I'm defederating from them immediately.

I appreciate the heads up.

[-] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 11 points 1 year ago

Glad I could help

[-] gabe@literature.cafe 25 points 1 year ago

Man. That's super sad to see. It's clear the admin is away and some awful people are taking advantage of it.

[-] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah I hope he can salvage the instance whenever he gets back, if he ever gets back. He'll probably have to wipe it clean and get a new domain honestly. This is why if setting up a Lemmy instance it's important that you always get a team of people to work together as admins, that way there's always someone there to take care of the problem and you don't end up in situations like this.

Tell me about it, I just logged on the other day expecting to go post in !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I'm greeted with transphobic and climate denial posts on the front page. Really didn't know what the hell was going on.

Jfc defeate from both, disgusting

[-] WtfEvenIsExistence@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

Your instance is still federated with exploding-heads.com

In fact, your instance have 0 blocked instances.

[-] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 13 points 1 year ago

It's not his instance though, he's not an admin he can't do anything about it.

[-] Shikadi@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Well I do intend to ask them to defederate too

[-] RoundSparrow@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

BE: 0.18.0

that isn't that long ago, as in July 1 Reddit API app deadline

[-] DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube 4 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure that version is vulnerable to some xss stuff though. Possible the admin's creds were compromised.

[-] Atemu@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

July 1st was over a month ago.

[-] zahel@cosmere.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

Just defederated from those losers on my instance.

[-] DaforLynx@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago

That's one of the instances i considered first joining... I'm not sure why i decided not to, but dodged a bullet nevertheless!

[-] PowerfulTurtle@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I would never recommend joining an instance hosted by one person with very little activity (and open registrations), those ones are prime targets for hate groups like the one operating right now on rammy.

[-] away2thestars@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

What are the consecuences of defederating?

[-] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 11 points 1 year ago

You'll no longer be able to retrieve content from the de-federated instance and they'll no longer be able to communicate with yours.

[-] spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Looks like it's been taken down

[-] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 4 points 1 year ago

Still seems like it's federated to me, I got your reply notification.

[-] spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Just the frontend then I guess? Are you on mobile?

[-] PowerfulTurtle@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Figured out what it was, rammy only works through https, typing in rammy.site without the https:// causes it to go automatically to http:// which doesn't connect. It also works though Tor because Tor forces https unconditionally and won't connect to sites without it.

I'm on the Desktop site.
