It’s better to have them forget about it and have the server and its communities locked than it is to have them left open to abuse in your absence. At least in the case of the locked one they can still use it on their communities on other instances (I see no reason to lock existing users, just registrations, community creation, and maybe posts and comments on hosted communities).

Having a team of admins is another good solution to this problem since if one disappears the others can still do the work while they are gone.

Yup it’s a proxy to circumvent defederation, they’re just posting shit there because at least when they started it was federated with many others. They’ll probably just flee elsewhere but this is why it’s very important to make sure you have people to manage the instance in case you aren’t able to anymore.

make sure to block burggit.moe as well they’re known for CSAM material, also lemmy.comfysnug.place for the same reasons.

Yeah, why do stupid Nazis always have to ruin everything anyway?

Yep they trash smaller instances until larger ones defederate them and all the users on them. I’m thankful I don’t have many posts or comments on my account but it absolutely sucks that I’m going to need to find another probably less reliable server.

Any suggestions for good servers to use as my new home server? I can’t really host one because I have potato internet in a mobile unit (don’t believe what they say, Starlink is absolutely awful) and I also don’t really want to buy a static IP. Just want a small instance with good uptime like rammy did but better moderation.

My account is actually on Rammy.site, though after what has happened I’m definately going to be moving on, I heard lemm.ee is pretty good.

It’s a shame it had to come to this, I liked rammy.site very stable and almost never goes out, why do bigots have to ruin everything for us…

You know even though this is my home instance I fully support you defederating from it, I’d rather move to another instance than than have these assholes posting transphobic bullshit be allowed to come and harass the wonderful people here on lemmy.blahaj.zone as they please.

I remember being told similar things by my “friends” in school due to me being a femboy who wears girl’s clothes, and also for being gay, they used a similar argument with me when I would respond to their questions about why I don’t want to be a girl because I didn’t know then a better way to respond and I wasn’t aware of what they were doing to me. They also teased me for being gay telling me “boys aren’t attracted to other boys”. I’m very glad I found better friends, those people weren’t really my friends, they treated me like dirt.
