Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.
What the fuck and can we do something about it?

feddit.de defederated this instance over this spam. Really makes me sour towards Lemmy as a concept. Now I can’t access all of the German speaking communities, just because one guy keeps spamming scat porn? And the feddit.de admin apparently only seeing defederation as the only option? Fuck that.
That says more about that admin then about Lemmy.
It does, but it’s the way Lemmy is designed that gives the admin so much “power” to take chunks of the fediverse offline for others
But what keeps you from creating a feddit.de account? What we really need is a client that can navigate multiple instances with separate accounts seamlessly.
I don’t want to create multiple accounts just so I can access all the content, that is not why I am here for. Furthermore, I don’t want to write an essay who I am and why I want to join feddit.de.

Lemmy is being sold as a Reddit alternative. I for one want it to succeed at that. A fractured Fediverse however won’t be able to entice anyone not directly affected by Reddit’s changes to join, for the same reason why separate forums weren’t able to survive once Reddit got traction.
Saying stuff like “it’s a good thing admins from one instance can cut you off from all communities hosted on that instance, if you have your account on the blocked instance” doesn’t track.

Semantics. If you ask people to switch to an alternative social media platform, it needs to be at least as usable as the original, otherwise it will see no adoption. Lemmy will never gain critical mass if reddit continues to be the better, more usable platform for 95% of all people.
So go back to reddit.
That seems to be the solution, and your attitude is why Lemmy will never replace proprietary social media platforms.
In my mind, your statement is analogous to “the pickup truck will never replace the car”. It is not intended to. Lemmy and Reddit are similar, but different. There are those looking for a Reddit experience and those looking for a Lemmy experience. In the end, both will have a population of users.
What exacly does the “Lemmy experience” have over the “reddit experience”?
Liftoff does this.
At this rate I wouldn’t be surprised if we defederated the source instance of all this crap just to stop the bleeding - it was stated by Beehaw and clearly obvious now that Lenny’s moderation tools are lacking.
