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?


That’s great!
What about Lemmy users? I know if a banned lemmy.world user was to post on a piefed.social instance that they were banned from that it would be federation rejected, but what I propose here would go further and simply have it automatically purged at source too.


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.


Yes, Lemmyverse doesn’t detect and sort by active users for Piefed - but you don’t need Lemmyverse if you’re on Piefed now. It’s essentially built in.


How it works now, or the changes I propose?


If you get banned from an instance on lemmy now, you will automatically get community banned from any communities on that instance you have interacted in.
But only those. So you could still post to communities on that instance locally that you had not posted on prior to being instance banned.


If you are banned from a particular instance you can still see all posts and comments from that instance, but you shouldn’t be able to post on any community from that instance. That’s the problem.
We had this happen yesterday where a troll from a currently unmoderated instance signed up to it. They were banned from everywhere else, but they were still posting gore on communities they were banned from and local subscribers would still see it.


Hypothetical Auto-federated bans are another entirely, but this specifically is about plugging a hole with instance bans right now.


I assume it is not the desired point that if I ban a user from piefed.social for posting gore (example) that they continue to post gore all over piefed.social communities from their local instance with those community moderators being completely unaware, meaning local users from there would see it.


Correct, but an instance banned user can still be a menace on their local instance in this context.


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.
You want Lemmy servers to shut down?
