You want Lemmy servers to shut down?

On a side note it feels like a lot of Lemmy servers are suffering financially and might close soon

What ones exactly?

What are we “seeing” when someone openly says that Jews should have been killed, exactly?

The claim wasn’t that the original, badly-run community no longer exists - but that viable alternative communities on other instances also do.

Nowhere on the threadiverse is large enough to support that level of interaction, unfortunately.

You can help by using television@piefed.social though.

Are these tagged as bots?

Yes, it can. I’m from Piefed.social.

Are you a mod there? Are you Quokk… or?

I don’t think any amount of democratic community moderation voting (this case here is more to do with an absent instance owner) would prevent the phenomenon of idle, disinterested or otherwise too-busy moderators letting their communities be overrun.

Do you have any contact with quokk.au admin? There’s a serious problem with the troll using quokk.au as the instance in which to spam from.

Lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, fedinsfw.app, piefed social have the bulk combined. Lemmy.ca and feddit.org not too far behind.

Lemmy.world has about 40% of the pop these days.

On Reddit, if I write a post in a subreddit and click Post, it is stored on Reddit’s servers, and anyone with a Reddit account can access Reddit’s servers and see it because we’re accessing the same monolithic system. On Lemmy, I’m currently posting to lemmy.world from a sh.itjust.works account in response to an account from programming.dev. On which of those three independent platforms will this message be stored? How could someone from, say, piefed.social see it? I genuinely don’t understand this fully msyself and I’ve been on Lemmy for a couple years now.

It’s stored on all of them. Piefed.social can see them because piefed.social is federated with sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world and programming.dev.

I don’t really see how to ‘fix’ the first part because its fundamental to what the threadiverse is

There’s one major oversight here that needs to be addressed if Lemmy/Piefed were to suddenly gain a glut of new users. How bans work.

Currently, instance bans and community bans are treated as two separate things. When a user is banned from an instance, you’ll often see in the logs a bunch of community bans alongside it at once. These are communities that user has posted on. An instance ban automatically applies hard-bans to communities they have interacted in from that instance. But the problem here is its only communities they’ve interacted in.

The instance ban itself is simply a rejection of federation. It doesn’t block users from posting in communities on that instance - only the community bans do that. It just means their posts won’t federate out. This means that an instance banned user can continue to be a nuisance in most communities (or all, if they are pre-emptively banned) on an instance locally - and the moderators of that community and instance won’t even know. With larger numbers of users would also mean larger amounts of trolls and incompatible users, which could greatly increase the chance of people simply vandalising communities and no-one even noticing.

Digg already came and went again

May I ask what your prior instances were?

How will it die?

No. Piefed and Mbin are separate software that reads Lemmy instances, but are not Lemmy instances.

Go to piefed.social and you’ll see or fedia.io for mbin.

Tbf piefed.zip doesn’t have much of a local so that makes sense for you, but the user above is on feddit.org, which is a long-running German-language (at least prominent) instance so it does make sense for them in that context if they’re German.
