Important note about a Nazi that is clogging up SDF with a disinfo campaign
@ashton1593@lemmy.sdf.org is spreading a disinfo campaign trying to rebrand horrible ideas as "not nazi." I don't know where else to warn people about this. We are pushing for an instance ban, but the admin at SDF tends to be slow to reach.
Edit: Look at the modlog. I beg of any instance admin that sees the ban and removal reasons alone, including a ban reason of "removed" , I hope to hell they break your instance rules. You should instance ban this moron to keep the spread down.
Edit 2: It has been more than a day now with not even a "We will look into it." kind of reply from the admin. It may be time to look into defederation. We are effectively abandoned.
We banned him a few hours ago. In the future, please at least navigate to the major servers and check their modlogs before pinging the admins.
Admins usually notify other admins fairly quickly about stuff like this. But in this case the other admins (myself) aren't going to know if the user had already banned by one of our colleagues, so we end up having to check multiple times.
Thank you for bringing it to our attention, already banned from Lemmy.world, will communicate with the other admins to see if more action is warranted.
I don't mean to backseat moderate but is a 7 day ban really the best option in this situation as opposed to a permanent one with content removal? I mean this isn't an average scenario, this is an extremist user spreading hate and disinformation, and for that they get only a 7 day ban?
Contact the admins at dubvee.org they have a system of cross instance banning and tracking down to an art form. That’s assuming you can contact them if you are not banned.
I didn't think to reach out to them since they're a smaller instance, they likely don't even see this whole thing happening. This is more an issue for the bigger admins since they're the ones who will ultimately stop the spread.
So I didn't really want to bother them with something that they probably can't even see.
Nope, I looked on lemmy.sdf.org and it does not appear they have. Nazi shit is still there.
So since it's been a day without any response I think it's time we started defederating from lemmy.sdf.org at least until we get updates on the situation. After all this idiot could have more sockpupets there we don't know about.
