Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.

Part of the problem is the instance’s open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup. This in combination with an inactive admin is a recipe for abuse.

We hope this is only temporary but we have to do this to protect our users.

Edit: we use fediseer, have a look https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Edit 2: We got in touch with the Feddit.nl admin. Email requirements were added to the sign-up process and we’re setting up a communication channel. So that means we are federating with Feddit.nl again!

    Thank you for defederating with them; I can’t unsee the horrible auto play video that showed up on my feed. Some people are really sick

      I haven’t seen anything and not sure what CSAM is. What was it?

        CSAM stands for child sex abuse material. I’m going to leave it at that.

          You might want to go to therapy, that might have been a traumatic event for you and therapy could definitely help with that.
