SDF admin finally remembered he has a Lemmy instance, and that fucker is now gone.

Hopefully they implement a little more oversight to avoid more "mods are asleep" situations. You don't need instant response times. But when people start escalating and looking for you on other services entirely, and it still takes over twenty-four hours, over abject blatant bigotry - deputize some mods.

Obvious PTB but also daym those look like a proper collection of alt-right comms,not to mention the ableism. Are these on their own instance?

What's going on with SDF?

Ah, the "if you're not a transphobe, you're a Nazi" guy. Delightful.

I’ve known that reports on Lemmy are faulty and Admin only reports, or more control of who receives them has been suggested but Lemmy’s devs never listen.

Yeah, the person being reported shouldn't get the report and they currently do if they Mod the forum the post is on or Admin the instance the post is on, the reporter is on and the reportee is on. That's open to abuse.

It's not a problem with SDF as a whole, it's just one Nazi who created a few communities there. Check out this post from c/fediverse_vs_disinfo: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37004617

Please change the title, because this seems kinda misleading.

Lemmy devs NEED to take action on this and implement report differentiation. I was banned from some midwest.social communities for similar. Lowly community mods should NOT be able to ban users for reporting instance/TOS offenses.

Or at least a community ban should not prevent you from making reports to admins.

Yeah… that’s not cool.

I have enough on my shoulders right now, but this evening I’ll make sure to check into this and if it hasn’t been handled, I’ll add my voice to the chorus.
(My voice has 0.1% more weight than anyone else’s, because I make monthly donations to their org since joining as a Lemmy user, but I did not sign up to support this.)

downside of lemmy is you can delete your vps, buy another one, install yunohost, buy a cheap domain and have your own lemmy instance federating pretty quick/cheap if you get blocked, especially if you use some pay by the hour vps

Is it not clear that this person is a massive troll?? People are treating this person like they should follow the rules when their entire schtick is to do nothing but create chaos and anger people. Those communities were created for the purpose of luring people so they could do this exact thing.

I would say this is fucking stupid simply because of how blatantly obvious it is, but the fact that people take them seriously enough to fall for the bait shows that know exactly they’re doing and it is working.

And it looks like there will be little to be done about it. If the admins won’t do anything- it’ll only be a matter of time before the instance is blacklisted, but that type of thing takes a while to happen.
