I have reported an account 8 months ago and sent a DM to the admin, but I haven't received a response yet and saw the account is still up after being reminded of the situation by the recent moderation issues. I have tried to email their abuse email address, but it seems to be non-functional (proton mailer sends back a delivery error).

I have heard from an SDF user that messages can be sent to the bulletin board to reach the admin. However, I have no experience using a bulletin board. I've made an SDF account and tried to post a message today in the REQUESTS section, but it doesn't show up in the listing.

Does anyone know if my post was successful, and if not, why? Or does anyone know how to reach an admin through other means?

UPDATE: My first attempt was successful, but the system just needed some time to process it.

Either we need to require members to use SDF emails to sign up or manage their Lemmy account login from the Maint console. Either way we need to limit it to Members of SDF who validated their accounts or shit like what's been happening will continue to happen.

I know that it would make this place less open for people but I think this would go a long way towards making the community more secure against these kinds of attacks.

One possible compromise would be that if we wanted a more open Lemmy instance, to create another one without Member restrictions on a different SDF domain i.e. freeshell.org. Though personally I'm not a fan of that idea at all since unmanned instances tend to gather spam or become derelict. It's much better to just have member-only instances and to encourage people to become SDF members with the $1 or €5 charge for validation.

It is imperative I receive a hug, or else everything will cease to be good.

~~It is time to talk about sailing ship and encourage defederation of this instance, I think.~~

Update: Administrator action has been taken, thankfully.

See the above edit.

If we're being brigaded (that the correct term?) doing so may be less work/stress than waiting to get a hold of someone. Can Lemmy do such a thing? We do have precedent for this with toobnix.

In addition, @SDF if your plate is full I'm sure many of us, myself included, would be happy to help manage the instance.

Cheers

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but up / down vote counts are missing as of today.

Since a few days ago I noticed some minor changes on mlmym (old.lemmy.sdf.org)

The logo on top left is low resolution, and the community info sidebar isn't shown by default.

Before: https://web.archive.org/web/20250127103600/https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/ After: https://web.archive.org/web/20250204090416/https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/

Does anyone know if this change was intended? At least I'm pretty sure the logo isn't.. Not sure where to report. thanks.

The events unfolding right now are proof. The last I looked, the Lemmy instance isn't even advertised on the web site. It seems like an afterthought. There are a reasonably large number of people on this instance now, and things like this are bound to happen from time to time. I really do love the mission of SDF as an org, which is why I choose to put the stuff I make here. However, literal Nazi disinformation campaigns should not even have the chance to happen. We need an admin that is more accessible, maybe a second for off hours. I don't know. But if things like this can happen as is, it may be a reasonable case to shut the instance down. That is unreasonable, I know, but I am very angry right now.

There's a transphobic troll and self-identifying fascist who is posting on our instance and went so far as to create communities, including one dedicated to being transphobic. Could we get some action on this guy?

Edit to add: The user in question is "ashton1593" and the communities that they have created.

For example, I created this post with this image hosted on lemmy.sdf.org as URL. The post never made it to ![email protected].

However, the same post with the same image hosted on pixelfed.sdf.org made it just fine.

This is just one example. I've made at least a dozen such posts and each time this happens without fail - unless the URL is something other than a lemmy.sdf.org-hosted image.

Not sure where to report this...

I posted this post on 3D [email protected] and cross-posted it to [email protected], and apparently it made it to neither.

For the lemmy.world community, I'm not really surprised. I simply can't create any post on any lemmy.world community from SDF. None of my posts ever shows up there for some reason. But I'm more surprised that it doesn't show up on lemmy.ml: usually I have zero problems with that instance.

So I'm wondering if there's a problem with federation or if it has something to do with the large number of photos in my post.

Anybody knows?

wtf is this trying to say

Is SDF's Matrix instance still accepting requests for invitations? I'm a member and I've sent mine around a week ago. I just wanted to confirm, thanks!

Are we having federation issues again? Feels like we are.

I'm trying to figure out how to do it cause of this text:

If you were referred to SDF by a friend or a current SDF member, they may be able to validate your new account for you. You can usually find SDF regulars in either 'com' or 'irc'. Be sure to ask them to help you.

Well, can anyone help? :D

What were you up to during the outage?!
