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]
New home: [email protected]
Will probably post to both for a while, until we have some kind of resolution.
Just subscribed, good to see you there.
I might migrate [email protected] there too in the coming weeks
You can still go to the instance and read it, subscribe to it from a non-defederated instance, or even create an account there directly.
Let’s also hope it’s only temporary.
