at this point they’re long past the point where they’d be tolerated here to keep a single account. they’re constantly impersonating and harassing other people, they need the new accounts to be able to evade bans.

it just takes one mentally ill person to make it their hobby to harass people on the internet

only the person creating a post can mark their own account as bot or change the title

feel free to get in touch with us if you have issues with api limits. we can’t change them for individual users but we may be able to give you advice on more efficient usage.

your bot shouldn’t be logging in every time it checks what is going on; it’s best to persist the JWT you get from logging in and keep using it. the signup/login rate limit (which for whatever reason has the same counter) is relatively low to limit abuse, but the other endpoints should be more relaxed. you’d also have to hit pretty high request counts for us to even look at it. i recommend using a separate bot account (see bot rules).

Hello,

most reports will only be seen by community moderators on our instance. We’re typically seeing about 100-200 post/comment reports on any given day, and we don’t have the capacity to look at all of them on admin level. If you need to report something to our admin team the best option is to message @lwreport@lemmy.world, which will go straight to our admin team. This does however not make Lemmy’s built-in reports useless. Lemmy does not store an edit history for posts and comments currently, but your report stores a snapshot of the contents at that point in time in our DB, which we can look up even if the community moderator resolved the report already.

The user is now banned and the community removed.

we could probably lock communities on instances that no longer exist, that would solve that. i’ll see if i can find some time to look into that.

defederation does not currently hide communities.

see also LemmyNet/lemmy-ui#3846 and LemmyNet/lemmy#5789

thanks, feddit.de and lemm.ee are now defederated.

lemm.one doesn’t seem to be a thing. if you’re referring to lemmy.one, that one has been defederated due to lack of moderation a long time ago

performance should already have improved a bit on certain queries, is this noticeable?

there are still a number of slow queries, but they’ll probably have to wait for the weekend.

I’ll look into that this weekend

we’re currently investigating a bit of DB slowness there. I hope we’ll have that fixed soon.

this may be a result of changes in piefed since we updated to 1.6 a few days ago where we may need to adjust some tuning.

I think this might currently be a bug in PieFed. Some other PieFed admins have been reporting issues with the active user counts being off as well. I’m not sure if PieFed uses the same logic to count active users as Lemmy, but that could be another source of difference. Looking through the last couple posts they seem to all have federated along with all their comments and at least most of the votes (1 or 2 votes were missing but that can happen sometimes).

I’ve transferred the community to you. I’ve also added your LW alt as community mod, as some mod actions (at least adding new mods) still has some issues when done from a different instance, and you won’t be able to receive and resolve all reports from another instances.

double check the language settings in your account. maybe you accidentally disabled english while changing something else?

Hello, I’ve just added you as a new moderator for this community.

Hello and sorry for the late response.

At least one of the moderators is still active, I’ve just sent them a message to confirm whether they’re still interested in moderating this community.

we’re very much aware of this. there are several individuals continuously evading bans. see also https://lemmy.world/post/39539586.

unfortunately, the tooling natively available in lemmy is rather limited, and identifying these accounts automatically without having a decent chance of false positives is challenging. there are already some measures we’ve implemented, but the stricter we become the more we risk affecting legitimate users with this.

I changed the password after leaking that screenshot

presumably in the time between leaking and changing it? once the password is changed the old password won’t work anymore, and neither will any of the previous login tokens.
