Defederated from Feddit.nl. Update: Refederated! (self.lemmyworld)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by lwadmin to c/lemmyworld

210 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.

Part of the problem is the instance's open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup. This in combination with an inactive admin is a recipe for abuse.

We hope this is only temporary but we have to do this to protect our users.

Edit: we use fediseer, have a look https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Edit 2: We got in touch with the Feddit.nl admin. Email requirements were added to the sign-up process and we're setting up a communication channel. So that means we are federating with Feddit.nl again!

Thank you for defederating with them; I can’t unsee the horrible auto play video that showed up on my feed. Some people are really sick

I haven't seen anything and not sure what CSAM is. What was it?

[–] NOT_RICK 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

CSAM stands for child sex abuse material. I’m going to leave it at that.

[–] asdfasdfasdf 7 points 1 year ago

Eck... Okay thanks

You might want to go to therapy, that might have been a traumatic event for you and therapy could definitely help with that.

You certainly buried the lead, Jesus Christ. Thanks for staying on top of all this and being transparent.

[–] obinice 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fun fact, it's buried the lede not lead. Weird right! The more you know :-D

[–] assassin_aragorn 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lede vs lead is always a weird dichotomy to me, because the whole purpose of lede is that it isn't supposed to be a word, right? I did some journalism in high school and I believe we were taught that lede was purposely not a word so that you could write "lede goes here" as a placeholder, and you'd be reminded of it because spell check would flag it.

So I'm never sure which to use, because it feels like using it in common discussion defeats the purpose haha. Either way though, you are right yeah.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce 13 points 1 year ago

They mean the same thing, more or less. Lede is just journalist slang for the story's introduction, or lead.

"Origin of lede

First recorded in 1950–55; altered spelling of lead (in the journalism sense “short introductory summary”), used in the printing trades to distinguish it from the homograph lead (in the sense “thin strip of type metal for increasing the space between lines of type”)"
