Hi I'm not related to that individual I just found your comment thread doing searches, I haven't heard of the Lemmy software being able to do IP bans anywhere, would you mind sharing where you heard this information.

As far as I know the only way to do "IP Bans" on Lemmy is to manually block them from the server's firewall but that's not a Lemmy software feature, it's a server feature, and it was also always possible.

These were Already actioned by the subs respectively, you can see them in the modlog if you search his username, he also had a few others which disappeared or just weren't there and couldn't find them on the modlog, which I guess he deleted, I don't remember it verbatim though so I can't quote it but more stuff encouraging massacring people or blowing them up.

  • "Bring the Gas kill them all."

  • "I hope you get stoned by your terrorist friends for supporting gays... Fuck you."

  • "Nukes. That's how."

  • "Fuck that, they need to remove all."

  • "Can you stop spamming, if you want to kill yourself thats your choice and right to do, but please dont annoy others with it, bridges are a great choice, or maybe a noose if you know how to tie knots, dont use drugs they often fail and cause long therm problems, if you are in the US a gun is of course also a option. Have a nice day and maybe just eat a Cookie and rethink before making a final choice."

  • "Ich rate zu großzügigem Konsum von Cyanid."

We must have completely different definitions of what is considered toxic or violent then. Blocking doesn't fix that, it's what you do for people that hurt youw feewings, not for people who are dangerous, that's why I'm reaching out. But hey you just tell people to block because its standard fucking procedure on Lemmy and probably elsewhere to assume that problems aren't real and that everyone are just special little fucking snowflakes who should cover their ears and close their eyes.

Ooh baseless strawman arguments, my favorite, you will notice that this post is not calling for or asking anywhere for defederation, but that's what happens when think and speak before you read.

Or you assume that everyone on this forum is calling for it because you prefer to lash out at people than to listen to them because you don't like or are bored by discussion of real issues.

I have now posted in the Matrix chat, I don't really use matrix. So I didn't at first but I made one and posted there.

My apologies it seems that the Kiwifarms community has restructured to serve different content from the last iteration.

I have indeed reached out to the admins and have filed many reports for said abusive behavior about the communities and about the hostile users. I have yet to hear back from the admins and this is not my first time reaching out.

before people criticize me I am not using my main account because I do not feel safe bringing up these issues there, as these people and issues still are not dealt with. I do not want to put myself in danger, I will not be engaging in or attempting to post polls or votes here.

I would like to start by saying that I've noticed a lot of bad faith or spammy communities pop-up recently. The user is dramaticcat many of the communities break rules 1 and 2, maybe even rule 3 (an example of one such community is !kiwifarms@sh.itjust.works) as they are purely dedicated to hatred, trolling, and possibly even spam.

Also a small handful of users have also been making threats or calls to violence and while these have been moderated nicely moderators and external instance admins the admins of this instance haven't done anything about this. This is worrying as admins are supposed to enforce the instance rules and remove disruptive users and communities who are in violation of said rules but the admins of Sh.itjust.works have not been doing that. This is a problem because it means that any malicious actor could join at any time and wreak havok on this instance just like Exploding-heads did on another unmoderated instance known as rammy.site way back when. We obviously know how that went.

It's important that we discuss this problem now while we might have a chance of contacting the admins rather than later when the damage has been done.
