This user did hours over a day of violent and transphobic hate speech and was not banned due to absentee admins. And when admins finally take action it’s for “userbase request”?
Uhhhhh? Am I missing something? SDF admins don’t seem to be willing to operate a community as a community of 4k users.
No hate to the admins if they are underpaid or whatever. SDF just needs to appoint reachable and bare minimally invested admins, and if they can’t maybe shouldn’t be running a Lemmy instance; it’s not really a “set it and forget it” deal.
Let’s not pickup the pitchforks based on just the ban string. However I agree that the situation where the admins are absent is very suboptimal. They need to assign some people from their instance that are active and ready to respond.
PS: The opposite would be “They deserved it”.
not here for pitchforks, just want what’s best for all their users :)
I am more than willing to do this. I really love the culture we have on SDF. Problem is that they are sysadmins, not instance admins.
Exactly. I’m primarily a sysadmin as well, but first of all I “dogfood” my own lemmy constantly, (i.e. I didn’t set it up just for others) and second first thing I did is onboard more admins to help.
