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!

    Frankly, good riddance we don’t need people who won’t stick around because bad instances are defederated. That’s not a problem that needs to be solved, it’s a feature.

      I know a lot of people agree with you. I’m just not one of them. I prefer a more open internet is all, where individuals are responsible for their own personal “defederations”, and don’t lose access to vast portions of the fediverse due to someone else’s actions and decisions unless they go out of their way to keep instance hopping.

        You should then pay to create the site you want then as you’re in a small minority. That’s how the free market works. Your comments do seriously come across as concern trolling at this point.

            They ever said they were ok with child abuse, and saying this is seriously not ok.

            I disagree with them on their view of lemmy and defederation but painting them as a child abuse advocate leads nowhere.

        BS, what you’re saying has nothing to do with an “open internet”. Stop co-opting terms, a fediverse instance defederating isn’t a closed internet. The other instance still exists and you can still access it if you want to.

          Thank you for telling me what I want, I guess? There’s a lot between “open” and “closed” internet. Defederation is certainly more towards closed than open, no? And I would prefer it to go the other way, that’s all.
