We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.
We have made attempts to contact the Rammy admins, which other instance admins have tried as well, to determine their current status. Due to their admins being absent and their unmoderated content growing in numbers, we will defederate from Rammy. If and when this situation changes, we will be happy to reevaluate our approach. It should be noted that any instances that have abandoned admin teams will be defederated.
Neither the person who contacted you was a real user of that instance, nor their “concern” was legitimate.
Congrats. You got successfully manipulated. And opened yourself up for further future manipulations.
what are you talking about? 2 seconds on that instance and youll see hate speech and bigotry. this wasnt even mentioned in this post, only that they are defederating due to a lack of an admin team. personally, i would agree to defederating for either of these reasons. in this case we have both. if you dont see a problem with that instance as it is currently, you are part of the problem and should leave too.
The instance in question was practically dead before this stupid thread gave it attention.
I’ll bet you money that concerned user didn’t exist 3 day ago.
Instance admins should learn how to be smarter, and not give manipulators small wins, alas, they will come back for bigger ones.
