Dear Admins of the Lemmy.world instance I am asking that you please consider defederating from the rammy.site instance as soon as possible as the admin is no where to be found and it has been taken over by right wing posters posting hateful messages. There are also other people posting large amounts of spam and creating empty communities. What was once a small hobby run general purpose instance has been turned over and made into a festering right wing hate filled breeding ground by the people from exploding-heads. The only recoarse left it seems is to defederate to prevent them from spreading hate to other instances.

PS. I already sent this message to multiple admins here, sorry about that I just felt it was urgent to make sure the message was sent before these people cause more damage.

Genuine question. If the admin dipped won't the instance die on its own within a month or so? If the admin disappeared I doubt they will continue to pay for hosting.

I'm not 100% sure so don't quote me on this but it could be on a yearly hosting plan in which case the hosting hasn't run out yet, but in the future it definitely very well might and then it will be taken down. Only time will tell.

It could also be hosted locally, and in that case if he still paying rent, electricity, and internet it'll likely stay up indefinitely unless he stops paying for the domain then the server will still be there but the domain will go dead or be reassigned.

Yeah I guess those are all valid options as well. Best to just defederate and move on.
