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
@SDF@lemmy.sdf.org, the user in question is @Mikal8871@lemmy.sdf.org. They created an NSFW community, didn’t tag it as such, and have been spamming porn onto the server with missing NSFW tags. 99.9% chance it’s the same bad actor who just got banned. Please ban them and maybe put a freeze on new accounts till we can add more admins willing to ban bad actors like this.
Count me in as well. I know the spirit of SDF is being a truly public computer, but on such a public computer they have made this instance, which has been defamed. There are those of us that really believe in the the educational etc. benefits that the non-profit brings are worth more than the defamation that this instance may bring. To be clear, unpaid admins can have an incentive to go rogue. I would be willing to put in effort for very little, but still paid, which at least would publicly declare that I have incentive and encouragement to curate this instance in a way that the community will actually care about.
I think the correct term is spammed. We’re being spammed by a single new user, who is presumably the recently banned nazi throwing a tantrum.
That’s probably more accurate. I suppose “brigading” is more for a group effort

I agree, they should freeze registration until they can get more people to volunteer to manage it, that is updates, maintenance, and especially moderation. I’ve never done maintenance or updates on a Lemmy server and I wouldn’t trust myself with something so dangerous, but I have done moderation and I would be happy to volunteer to help out in any way I could.
Another thing that could help is to make the instance SDF member only, by requiring the use of SDF email, or having your account be managed by the maint command in the Shell login.

I do like the member only idea. At least it’ll require that spammers donate before causing trouble and getting banned.
