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!

Thanks for the transparency, sad to hear as always to see a country specific instance to go unmanaged

Edit: I guess a few people will miss [email protected] from @[email protected]

Will probably post to both for a while, until we have some kind of resolution.

With the refrigeration, which do you consider the canonical community to follow now? You mod both, right? Are you going to keep the bit posting to both?

Love what re-federation got auto-corrected to.

The canonical community is the one at feddit.nl, since it has all the history and I don't really think it's .nl's fault that someone used it to attack .world.

The bot's due to make one more post at endlesstalk (to announce that the problem is over) and then I'll think about what to do with the community (probably delete it)
