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.

    Sorry I wasn’t questioning you, was just genuinely curious and it got me thinking.

    Could somebody set an instance up on a nes or home server, forget about it and it becomes completely rogue? At what point would any instance defederate if they never updated too?

      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.
