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.
Yeah I hope he can salvage the instance whenever he gets back, if he ever gets back. He'll probably have to wipe it clean and get a new domain honestly. This is why if setting up a Lemmy instance it's important that you always get a team of people to work together as admins, that way there's always someone there to take care of the problem and you don't end up in situations like this.
oh wow, it’s bad there!
Tell me about it, I just logged on the other day expecting to go post in !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I'm greeted with transphobic and climate denial posts on the front page. Really didn't know what the hell was going on.
Jfc defeate from both, disgusting
BE: 0.18.0
that isn't that long ago, as in July 1 Reddit API app deadline
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.
Nuh uh.
That's one of the instances i considered first joining... I'm not sure why i decided not to, but dodged a bullet nevertheless!
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.
What are the consecuences of defederating?
You'll no longer be able to retrieve content from the de-federated instance and they'll no longer be able to communicate with yours.
Looks like it's been taken down
Still seems like it's federated to me, I got your reply notification.
Just the frontend then I guess? Are you on mobile?
Figured out what it was, rammy only works through https, typing in rammy.site without the https:// causes it to go automatically to http:// which doesn't connect. It also works though Tor because Tor forces https unconditionally and won't connect to sites without it.
I'm on the Desktop site.
