That's how I had hoped it would work. So if it continues, just one instance can clean it up so all the others don't need to take any action.
Probably the easiest solution. Just had to remove another one, guess we'll see what happens.
But non-spammy regular users wouldn’t be able to post or interact at that point, right? Also, how would that affect users on a third party instance? For example, I’m on lemm.ee
Genuine question, not too familiar with how the backend of Lemmy works and am curious to learn more :)
Ouch, that’s definitely way out of date and has several critical bugs in it that are unpatched.
I brought the spam issue from that instance to the attention of the admins for LW, they’re going to take a look into it. Will keep an eye out for more spamming today.
Loved this feature in Apollo! Would love to see it here as well.
I’m not actually sure how that works. If LW defederates does it block all users from that instance from posting? I would guess “yes” in that I believe the instance the community is hosted on plays a role in tracking posts to that community. If you’re curious, I would definitely ask one of the dev communities.
Will leave up for a little since I’m sure a lot of other people saw the barrage of spam from last night. Should be all cleaned up now.
Also, I do believe that is a legit instance, so it’s not likely it’ll be defederated, they’re likely a victim of the spammers as much as we are here… they just need to delete those accounts and block those IPs.
Unfortunately this isn’t an action that mods can take. The admins of each instance need to de-federate from it.
Awesome plan and will be checking in to also try to help answer questions people post when it goes live in the App Store. Love this app so far and really looking forward to seeing a successful launch!
Impressive that Nvidia has found a price point for Infiniband that’s so bad that it’s actually more cost effective for companies to create an open standard to ditch them. The initiative sounds really interesting and I’m curious to see what comes out of it. The article mentions latency several times, but they really need to beat Infiniband’s deterministic latency. That’s going to be a challenge to do, especially while carrying all Ethernet’s baggage.
Memmy has been a great fill-in, as has Lemmios. Memmy is probably a little further along, but both are definitely "Apollo-inspired" and both have been nice to use. Still some features missing that I have to come to the site for.
I'll believe it when I see it.
