We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.

We have made attempts to contact the Rammy admins, which other instance admins have tried as well, to determine their current status. Due to their admins being absent and their unmoderated content growing in numbers, we will defederate from Rammy. If and when this situation changes, we will be happy to reevaluate our approach. It should be noted that any instances that have abandoned admin teams will be defederated.

    Maybe it’s not actually abandoned. Just providing plausible deniability that way.

      It’s running an older version of Lemmy, so it’s not being updated.

        Rammy is running 0.18.0 which still has the bloated postgres database issue, so storage should be ramping up real fast. It is still technically possible to forget about it, don’t get me wrong. I was merely pointing out it is not the only possibility.

            Could somebody set an instance up on a nes

            I think that in order to run Lemmy you’d need at least a PlayStation.

            No worries, I took no offense.

            Technically yes one could, absolutely. No disputing that. Automatic defederation is not a thing afaik, so it would stay federated.

            I run a script daily on my instance to defederate suspicious instances (no post but thousands of users for example) but not everybody does.

            Yes, but lemmy isn’t the most stable of software, so unless you set up stuff like automatic database maintenance and restarting lemmy if it becomes unresponsive, it’ll crash pretty quickly.
