@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 “tranny” , 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.
Edit for an update:
Help spread the word on this, we need instance admins all over to help stop this asshole.

I apologize for pinging all of you, this is a serious issue and it’s faster to ping like this than to message everyone individually.
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.
It’s all good though, I appreciate your urgency.
Oh I see, sorry I didn’t check sooner. I’ll try to check the modlog next time (hopefully there isn’t a next time).
There will be. You can check https://matrix.to/#/#defense:lemmy.world
Hijacking this useful ping to say that I absolutely would not hold a grudge over defederation due to this. We can’t get in touch with the admin. They are likely asleep. Please remember, though, that aside from this BS, it is just a quiet nerdy instance full of Unix lovers.
Edit: autocorrect typos
Me neither. If the mods don’t respond to or address this issue by tomorrow I will begin advocating defederation from lemmy.sdf.org because if they aren’t willing or able to moderate hate speech, then they aren’t a safe instance to be on or be around.
Yeah, seems like they need a spare emergency admin or two in different time zones. Hell, every instance that doesn’t require approval to create communities needs those, imo
Most instances with a larger userbase really need to have a 24 hour team, “mods are asleep” should never happen on a server with a large userbase. The disruptions that can cause in cases like this are unacceptable.
It is a bad look for a non-profit that does some genuinely cool stuff.
Yeah it definitely is. They should be way more attentive when it comes to moderation, as well as maintenance of their services. I still remember having to beg them to update from 0.19.2 to 0.19.3 because the instance was broken and not federating (couldn’t even log in) it was so difficult to get them to do that. They did do it but it shouldn’t have been anywhere near that hard.
Feel free to donate and collaborate!
Appreciated!
Appears they’ve already been dealt with.
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.
