Please Consider Defederating from Rammy.site (rammy.site)

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.

[–] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 13 points 1 year ago

Glad I could help

[–] bauhaus@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh wow, it’s bad there!

[–] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] gabe@literature.cafe 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 7 points 1 year ago

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.

Jfc defeate from both, disgusting

[–] zahel@cosmere.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

Just defederated from those losers on my instance.

[–] RoundSparrow@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

BE: 0.18.0

that isn't that long ago, as in July 1 Reddit API app deadline

[–] DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Atemu@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

July 1st was over a month ago.

[–] TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Nuh uh.

[–] DaforLynx@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 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.

[–] away2thestars@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are the consecuences of defederating?

[–] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like it's been taken down

[–] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still seems like it's federated to me, I got your reply notification.

[–] spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just the frontend then I guess? Are you on mobile?

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

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.

[–] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 1 points 1 year ago

I'm on the Desktop site.

[+] GrazingGerard130@rammy.site -14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LMAO you're a stupid cuck going around posting to instances trying to stir up shit and breed hatred against us. Very leftist of you isn't it, that's what they do they start shit and turn people against each other, then they push for censorship. All because you can't handle the truth about stupid gender ideology lmao, keep coping losers when DeSantis becomes president it'll be over and you'll be brought to justice for your crimes against children.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not engaging in this, but if you think even sex is binary, you're wrong. Life is more complex than that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

[+] GrazingGerard130@rammy.site -12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Deformed people aren't another gender, they're just deformed people.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not a gender, it's sex. Also, to call it deformed is a misunderstanding of biology. There isn't a "proper form" of biology. It just is. (Well, unless you're religious, in which case why did God make it happen since he's the one in charge?)

[–] GrazingGerard130@rammy.site 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God has no control of what kind of people we turn out as, he cannot control if people choose to be honest good loving people, or disgusting groomers who want to me women. There are good people and bad people in the world, who you choose to be is up to you, not to god. He probably would prefer that you don't be a groomer though, that's why those people are going to hell.

[–] daquackeryspreads@rammy.site -4 points 1 year ago

List of right-wing sexual predators. FragileGerard130 has repeatedly removed it from their "Say No to Groomers" community at rammy.site.

By the way, there's a far-right brigade trying to overtake the aforementioned instance, which has been abandoned by its admin. FragileGerard130 is one of them.

Overgrown boys are not men, they're just boys. But you know that too well, don't you?

This is why I'm encouraging people to defederate from rammy, assholes like this are going to use it as a point to post shit to the rest of the instances. If it's defederated they're no better off than they were on exploding-heads and it'll be harder for them to spread their hatred.

[+] daquackeryspreads@rammy.site -6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can tell you that it's getting under their skin. Little thing is unhinged and now goes to trans communities and instances to insult them.

If you could join my stupid guerrilla efforts by downvoting their posts and comments, and upvoting my trolling to keep them away from the front page, it would be much appreciated 😊

[–] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 2 points 1 year ago

I'll try to help as much as I can but I'm in the process of finding a new instance, preferably one that doesn't federate with rammy or exploding-heads because I know I'll get plenty of DM harassment otherwise if I don't due to my defederation campaign.

Trying to do it soon because rammy is unmoderated and I don't want to be here when anyone worse comes and starts going to war on the instance with any amount of unspeakably horrible abusive material, there are some really disgusting and illegal lemmy instances out there and rammy has none of them blocked.

Though there is hope in the future, since rammy is abandoned eventually its hosting or domain-registration (whichever comes first) will run out and when it does the site will go down and their fun will be over.

In the meantime I'll focus on spreading the word about rammy.site and making sure people know about this so they'll never leave their instances abandoned, at least not without turning off registration first.

Just ban their communities if you dont want to see their conter, its not that hard!

[–] PowerfulTurtle@rammy.site 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They'll just create more communities, have you seen the community spam on here lately? If they did that fighting against each other do you really think they wouldn't evade community bans on lemmy.world? Defederation is the only way unless the admin comes back and does a sweeping IP ban of everyone posting shit on here, followed by defederating exploding-heads. I don't foresee that happening though, admin has been MIA for over a month with no sign of returning and there's almost no activity here besides me and the assholes from EH.

[+] rist097@lemmy.world -16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think you need to learn to not take some things too personal. There will always be offending stuff in the world. It's not good for your health to take offense on everything you see.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

Same can be said about your POV.

Why is it always people telling us we need to associate with Nazis because "it's not a big deal just let them do their Nazi stuff in peace? "

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

It isn't the subject matter. It's the aggressive and intentional disruption that's coordinated to disrupt other instances. They don't just make shitty communities and post shitty things, they then start shit in other instances' communities. That's why they need defederation, not their political views or post subjects.

[–] magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, no. It's not about taking offense, it's about not letting this place being overrun by hate speech.
