Willing to bet they’re on Kbin, Kbin favors trolls more than Lemmy does, since they have significantly worse moderation and some kbin instances have no moderation.
Just a heads up, this person is a known troll across lemmy they’re well known for their hostile and inflammatory content and just saying things to get a rise out of people, this person also isn’t exactly receptive to feedback. Just wanted to let you know since trying to talk with someone like this is like talking to a brick wall.
He’s always like this unfortunately.
Do people think that someone has to use the same email address, or the same username? If someone uses a different email, username, and IP address (don’t try and argue semantics it can, always can, and always has been done) then whatever you put into the list can’t be applied to them.
Even if you ask for IDs people can fake those, it’s illegal sure but so is what these assholes did and it didn’t really stop them now did it.
That’s good then, was worried for a sec that people could upload images without having an account, that would be very bad and make these kind of attacks insanely easy.
Matrix is a secure chat protocol used by the Devs to message eachother.
A pull request is a way of proposing and contributing code on git-based platforms like github, gitlab, and codeberg.
Wait I noticed that there’s an image button in the application form, is there any risk that that might be abused by users passing by to upload to pictrs in registrations without an account? That could be a big problem if they could.
Sign-ups are manual approval applications, no more automated sign-ups from them, if they have existing accounts and target another community it’ll be closed as well and those accounts banned, there isn’t a stream of new accounts though because all accounts going forward need to be manually approved.
Maybe you could start with making pull-requests to help and maybe also writting them an application on Matrix. I’m not being snarky just pointing out that it’s easier to help than you might think.

They also changed the account sign ups to be application only so people can’t create accounts without being approved.
I don’t know if it has been mentioned there yet but do you think it would be a good idea to post this to the lemmy incidents room on Matrix?
What misinformation, are you trying to imply that the known instance wasn’t defederated for hosting or allowing the hosting of illegal content, do you think they weren’t at all or do you think loli is acceptable and not CSAM, because FYI opinions may vary but the law is clear CSAM even fictional is illegal to produce, host, or consume.
Indeed there was. I don’t understand why.
There was an Instance (check bottom of instances page, it’s the most recent one in blocked as of writing this) that had rules allowing loli (drawn CSAM) which was defederated very recently. I originally made a post about it on support but deleted it because there was a lot of backlash (backlash against defederating a loli CSAM instance 😒) so I just messaged about it privately, not just to lw admins but to many others as well across lemmy.
It’s evil, disgusting, and illegal. Weird doesn’t seem like a good adjective at all to describe what happened, way too tame.
More accurate to what it is, CSAM describes it as what it is, abuse material.
There’s a Matrix Room for building mod tools here maybe we might want to bring up this issue there, just in case they aren’t already aware.
Understandable, last I checked it seems very stable on all the other instances that use it.
