Admins of Lemmy.ml please consider defederating from rammy.site it has been taken over by right wing malicious actors from exploding-heads.com and the admin is nowhere to be found.

It is imperative that you take action as soon as possible the users on rammy are using the site to spread their messages to a further audience, we must nip this in the bud. If you don't believe me check the instance for yourself, you'll see it dominated with bigoted right wing posts and spam communities.

Thank you. I'm on a small, but growing, instance and I'm defederating from them immediately.

I appreciate the heads up.

Glad I could help

Man. That's super sad to see. It's clear the admin is away and some awful people are taking advantage of it.

Pretty sure that version is vulnerable to some xss stuff though. Possible the admin's creds were compromised.

July 1st was over a month ago.

That's one of the instances i considered first joining... I'm not sure why i decided not to, but dodged a bullet nevertheless!

[–] PowerfulTurtle@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I would never recommend joining an instance hosted by one person with very little activity (and open registrations), those ones are prime targets for hate groups like the one operating right now on rammy.

Just defederated from those losers on my instance.

[–] away2thestars@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago
