Defederated from Feddit.nl. Update: Refederated! (lemmy.world)

Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.

Part of the problem is the instance's open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup. This in combination with an inactive admin is a recipe for abuse.

We hope this is only temporary but we have to do this to protect our users.

Edit: we use fediseer, have a look https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Edit 2: We got in touch with the Feddit.nl admin. Email requirements were added to the sign-up process and we're setting up a communication channel. So that means we are federating with Feddit.nl again!

How on EARTH do you read that anecdote and come away with "Yeah he's a Nazi" and not "Man that person was an idiot and Nazi labels are used way too liberally"? Like actually how? Do you wear a helmet to bed?

@PrinceHabib72 But I get it, you'll rather insult those who disagree with you and provide you with clear respectful criticism, than self-reflect. So, yeah, you're correct, in your own words you're kind of an idiot.

Please read the rest of this thread to see how I deal with non-idiots.

@PrinceHabib72 I did, that's why I suspected initially that you might be a concern troll. Some people feed off of conflict for they crave the adrenaline rush that arguments create. So they're contrarian for the sake of being contrarian and be antagonized online. It happens.
