They don’t refresh at all, posts and comments get delivered to subscribed instances when they are created. Likely no one from your Piefed instance has been subscribing to the communities you posted to with your lemmy account at that time.

I think it’s just a proof of concept in case they feel the need to switch the base. I didn’t head anything indicating that’s the case already

If nobody on your server follows them, they don’t cause any load to your server. Also admins can suspend the whole instance.

It’s still going to waste electricity etc, but it can easily be cut off the fediverse.

Creating hurdles can help lowering the temptation. I totally get OP.

Always assume public stuff is archived somewhere. It sucks, but it is what it is.

When you delete a post, your instance sends a “this post got deleted”-message to all servers that got the original post. Most fediverse services implement it properly and delete it, but the message may get lost, admins may change the behavior etc. No guarantees.

It’s default in Lemmy.

No I think that’s the best way to do it. Strongly depends on the country you’re in, what kind of legal constructs it allows, but having some organization that’s in the contract instead of some person is the way to go. That org can then handle votings etc (can even use the instance for that).

It’s a fun idea and there’s similar ideas, but in the end, someone always has to be in the contract of the server provider or host the infrastructure at home and is basically the admin overlord. That person is also liable if illegal stuff shows up.

Thanks! Makes him even worse (doesn’t change whether I think it should be in this community though)

Yeah it’s happening on one instance. Nobody has to adhere his call, where is it btw?

It’s good to call that shit out now and then in right place, but instance moderation is still moderation.

It’s what used to be called fedi meta. This sub specifically says it’s not about grievances with moderation etc. This post is clearly about a moderation issue. One admin who also happens to be a dev is moderating poorly - sure, but not what this community is about.

Is there any documentation on how they share user data like emails? That sounds super wild to me

Lemmy is a small part of the fediverse and the tankie triad is a small part of Lemmy. Barely ever seen that stuff on Mastodon and co.

Switching to mbin won’t help you with that since it’s the same communities.

Thanks for posting, what a wild ride.

The screenshot is supposedly from a Nazi forum and they claim to have infiltrated db0 and possibly other instances by becoming admins.

This screenshot is passed around a lot today. It’s hard to prove it’s authencity because it’d be very easy to just pretend you have infiltrated something and create a chat like this just to stir shit up and damage db0’s “reputation” and the trust between admins.

The mentioned instance’s main admins should look real hard if their other admins are actually doctoring opinions by abusing their admin powers/authorities and check how they’re recruiting their admins. I would imagine it’s not super hard to get into there when moderation in the fediverse is pretty tiring and you appreciate any help.

I don’t follow db0 or the other instances closely so idk how likely it is in this case. Just saying it’s absolutely possible but the screenshot doesn’t prove anything.

Well they targeted the biggest instance. Their attack didn’t stop mastodon as a whole, but many users were impacted

Depends on what your goal is. .social has half a million active users every month, so it certainly had some impact

Who do you mean with them?
