If we’re being brigaded (that the correct term?) doing so may be less work/stress than waiting to get a hold of someone. Can Lemmy do such a thing? We do have precedent for this with toobnix.
In addition, @SDF if your plate is full I’m sure many of us, myself included, would be happy to help manage the instance.
Cheers
I agree, they should freeze registration until they can get more people to volunteer to manage it, that is updates, maintenance, and especially moderation. I’ve never done maintenance or updates on a Lemmy server and I wouldn’t trust myself with something so dangerous, but I have done moderation and I would be happy to volunteer to help out in any way I could.
Another thing that could help is to make the instance SDF member only, by requiring the use of SDF email, or having your account be managed by the maint command in the Shell login.
I do like the member only idea. At least it’ll require that spammers donate before causing trouble and getting banned.
It’ll also help with trolls for the same reason. It requires a level of dedication to join that most people won’t have.
