Reported less than five of this dipshit’s posts and he ended up banning me from all of his communities. Doesn’t really surprise me. I’ve known that reports on Lemmy are faulty and Admin only reports, or more control of who receives them has been suggested but Lemmy’s devs never listen.
My advice is to just send messages directly to your Admins as well as his admins, then he can’t intercept them.
SDF admin finally remembered he has a Lemmy instance, and that fucker is now gone.
Hopefully they implement a little more oversight to avoid more “mods are asleep” situations. You don’t need instant response times. But when people start escalating and looking for you on other services entirely, and it still takes over twenty-four hours, over abject blatant bigotry - deputize some mods.

As far as I’m concerned, sdf is gone too. (edit: their Lemmy instance, not the org itself.)
It’s not a problem with SDF as a whole, it’s just one Nazi who created a few communities there. Check out this post from c/fediverse_vs_disinfo: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37004617
Please change the title, because this seems kinda misleading.

Yeah, the person being reported shouldn’t get the report and they currently do if they Mod the forum the post is on or Admin the instance the post is on, the reporter is on and the reportee is on. That’s open to abuse.
You also have no control over whether reports federate out to other admins, Carcosa showed that with their bad faith accusations that I was replying to them via reports in !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com when I was actually reporting them for being an ass and violating the community’s and instance rules. On Mastodon I would’ve simply unticked the Forward report to Hexbear option, but Lemmy doesn’t let you do that, it by default pulls out all the stops to let everyone know it’s being reported, with no discretion whatsoever. I’m kinda surprised they don’t just make them publicly visible to everyone *sarcasm*.
Ah, the “if you’re not a transphobe, you’re a Nazi” guy. Delightful.
Lemmy devs NEED to take action on this and implement report differentiation. I was banned from some midwest.social communities for similar. Lowly community mods should NOT be able to ban users for reporting instance/TOS offenses.
Or at least a community ban should not prevent you from making reports to admins.
Obvious PTB but also daym those look like a proper collection of alt-right comms,not to mention the ableism. Are these on their own instance?
Nope they’re on lemmy.sdf.org. Lots of people are talking about this incident right now, in fact I just posted a comment mentioning as many admins as I could think of to help resolve the situation.
What’s going on with SDF?
Some nazi is trolling, made some subs and is posting transphobic stuff, banning everyone that criticises it, mods not around/need to be contacted.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
You could try reporting to their abuse contact https://sdf.org/?abuse/abuse
But SDF is a pretty old organisation, it seems to generally be quite pro free speech.
I don’t get why they didn’t add this link to the sidebar. I was looking for this and couldn’t find it, and the admins didn’t respond to any of the reports or DM’s. Likewise, I thought it was just a phantom ship type of instance since other Admins couldn’t get contact either.
But thanks for sharing the link, I’m going to write a mail right now because they apparently still didn’t do anything about the last thing I reported 8 months ago.
Well, yeah, the admin hasn’t been around on Lemmy itself for a while: https://lemmy.sdf.org/u/SDF
But it was upgraded to 0.19.8 2 days ago, so it’s not abandoned.
I only know where to report software issues and ask for upgrades, but not users.
Anyway, just for fun, here’s how that looks like:
First you SSH (or Telnet if you’re feeling brave) into your SDF pubnix account and then openbboard(bulletin board program).
List of commands:
REQUESTS BBOARD preview:
And an example bulletin about Lemmy being down posted by another user:
Hmm, I just noticed from the screenshots that there is a newly posted bulletin, likely about this person.
Edit: That post from jdl
Admins are already aware.
I have to ask since you may know: Specifically the SDF admins? I’ve done all I reasonably should with no reply.
There’s a back channel chat with Admins from multiple instances, word went out about 8 hours ago, not sure if the SDF admin has seen it yet.
Actual Nazi or u just don’t like their politics? Cos I wouldn’t classify transphobia as nazism.
When you say “I wouldn’t classify transphobia as nazism.” It feels like you’re aware that people use the term Nazi to refer to far right extremists who are not literal members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, but then why would you think transphobia is not associated with nazism? Even then, literal WW2 Nazi Party Nazis were transphobic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_people_in_Nazi_Germany Far right Nazis of today are transphobic too. Believing transwomen are men sneaking into bathrooms to prey on women being a common example.
This is far from someone just seeing an opinion they dislike and comparing it to Nazism.
I too do not classify transphobia as Nazism because I’m not unhinged.
There’s flour in my pantry. Perhaps I’m a chocolate cake lover by Lemmy standards?
Cos I wouldn’t classify transphobia as nazism.
You’re just flouting your ignorance of history, then.

The Nazis also believed that all people deserved a job land and a family. Just cos the Nazis believed/did something doesn’t necessarily mean its Nazi activity.
I feel that by comparing a little transphobia to the literal genocide of 6million people u might be undermining value of the word that refers to the latter?
“Hitler was a vegan” level horseshit.
Is the jobs program why people fucking hate Nazis? Oh, no, right, it was all the innocent groups they targeted for mass murder. Like trans people. Nobody should have to explain to you how screeching about trans people as if they’re gonna eat your children is building toward that.
Hateful speech != mass murder.
I shouldn’t have to explain this to anyone.
‘They’re just calling these people subhuman child predators! Nothing bad could follow that. Today is the last day in history.’
Fuck off.
The Nazis also believed that all people deserved a job land and a family.
Fuck off nazi scum.
Please explain how explaining literal history makes me a Nazi? Also this isn’t good faith engagement of ideas
This is literally what the Nazis did first. This is their history, you dolt. This is what led to the actual no-shit Holocaust. This is what that process looks like.

First of all, WTF are you talking about? You didn’t say “cos I wouldn’t classify transphobia as genocide;” you said “cos I wouldn’t classify transphobia as nazism.” Naziism is not only about genocide. You’re moving goalposts.
Second, trans people (and all the other kinds of LGBT, for that matter), were exterminated in the camps right alongside the Jews! They are included in that “6 million people” you just cited!

Wtf are u trying to justify? When someone is called a Nazi should I be thinking they wanna kill millions of people what an awful person? Cos it sound an awful lot like it trying to justify me thinking a Nazi is someone who doesn’t like trans people in their bathroom.

This is completely irrelevant to my point.
You’re being reported a lot and I’m trying to understand what point you’re trying to make here before I decide what action to take
Is it that transphobia is not a serious issue and therefore comparing it to nazis is out of line? is it that calling trapshobes “nazis” cheapens the impact of labeling people as “nazis” and you’re trying to preserve the impact of the word? Is it that all nazis are transphobes but not all transphobes are nazis? What exactly are you trying to argue here?

The reality you refuse to acknowledge is that the millions of people the Nazis wanted to kill included trans people.
You are trying to create a distinction that doesn’t exist in order to spread disinformation and transphobic hate, “no true Scotsman”-ing Nazis in order to pretend they were different from MAGAs in a way they are 100% not.
You’re a fucking Nazi/MAGA apologist and it’s time for you to get banned.
Feeling awkward around trans folks is a little transphobia.
Making claims that trans folks are grooming children is Nazi shit.
I still think by saying this u are undermining the meaning of the word.
Spreading hateful information about a vulnerable group leads directly to violence against them.
I think you are minimizing the damage this person is doing to vulnerable populations.
We should deport all the Australians back to england
No ta.
Switch the countries then that sounds like an incredibly racist comment. Please elaborate by what u mean.
Ur fucking blocked too mate
Yeah… that’s not cool.
I have enough on my shoulders right now, but this evening I’ll make sure to check into this and if it hasn’t been handled, I’ll add my voice to the chorus.
(My voice has 0.1% more weight than anyone else’s, because I make monthly donations to their org since joining as a Lemmy user, but I did not sign up to support this.)downside of lemmy is you can delete your vps, buy another one, install yunohost, buy a cheap domain and have your own lemmy instance federating pretty quick/cheap if you get blocked, especially if you use some pay by the hour vps
This person isn’t doing that though, they’re clearly freebooting off other instances.
I thought instance admins had to approve any new created community. Allowing anyone to create a community without any supervision sounds dumb.
Nope, as far as I can tell that’s not a thing on any instance. You can either have it open or limited to Admins. Reddit has the feature fully open by default. I guess the idea is to encourage people to create the spaces they need/want on demand without fuss.
idk how long it takes to federate tho I havent gotten very far
Is it not clear that this person is a massive troll?? People are treating this person like they should follow the rules when their entire schtick is to do nothing but create chaos and anger people. Those communities were created for the purpose of luring people so they could do this exact thing.
I would say this is fucking stupid simply because of how blatantly obvious it is, but the fact that people take them seriously enough to fall for the bait shows that know exactly they’re doing and it is working.
And it looks like there will be little to be done about it. If the admins won’t do anything- it’ll only be a matter of time before the instance is blacklisted, but that type of thing takes a while to happen.
