It’s quite sad to watch unfold, but the admin of rammy has been basically MIA all month and exploding-heads users and admin (which we have been de-federated from for a while) has taken notice and has decided to invade and set up shop there to just generally push their stuff into the federation. Entire front page is a hate fest against LGBT people and just general foul bigotry. Hopefully the rammy admin comes back and cleans stuff up, and then we can hopefully re-federate (if they want to.)

Just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was curious why another instance was added to the blocked server list :/

    I love that there’s a way to deal with shitbrained bigots on lemmy. It sucks entire servers get brigades, but it’s fucking awesome that they can be blocked. And unlike with the other site, if a popular sub was taken over, that name was lost. Now you can just remake popularsub@newinstance.fuckthebigots and I have never been happier to be off reddit. :)

    If the admin is really MIA I doubt it’ll last long. That being said, this is the system working. Defederate away.

    Unfortunately if people are going to allow hate groups to invade there instance defederate is the only way to deal with it
