It may be prudent to restrict new registrations or require admin approval on new accounts (lemmy.sdf.org)

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

@[email protected], the user in question is @[email protected]. 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.

I would also be willing to volunteer as an admin for moderation purposes, if necessary.

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.

If they make the Instance SDF memeber-only that doesn't prevent people from joining or make it that less public. Anyone can become an SDF member, $1 or €5 to join is very reasonable and likely something anyone can afford if they want to, it's an inconvenience enough to deter spammers and assholes though.
