nobody needs to move to another platform. both lemmy and piefed show the same content, think of it more like using a different client that also has different features. both lemmy.world and piefed.world will continue to exist.
with the content i've seen it gave me more of an impression of being captures of a live stream, but that's just guessing
we looked into it, we currently believe that to be a copycat not related to the other pms.
the lemmy.world account involved in that was most certainly compromised from an unrelated data breach and all connections originated from IPs linked to an anonymization service, so there's also not much to follow up on.
we will reconsider this if it happens again.
I don't know if others have, I only know that we (Lemmy.World, Fedihosting Foundation) have not reported it to the police.
I don't have high hopes that the police would be able to do anything about this. For the harassment against the person shown in the images, that would likely have to be reported by them directly for the police to take that up.
For random online spam, as in harassment of fediverse users receiving the PMs, that seems like it would be an extremely low priority for police. It's also likely fairly difficult to impossible to follow up on, considering that the person sending the PMs most likely used a VPN to access these accounts.
to be honest, this should have been done way earlier.
partial breakage, the stuff that people on other instances have already been experiencing for a while.
iirc there are still some additional issues with sync arising with the update, but it won't be entirely broken.
the domain you posted a link to was in our automod blacklist due to previously being used by spam bots.
upon review it appears that this domain serves user generated content by different users that can be determined in the URL path. in those cases we typically only ban those users rather than the entire site if it's not overly spammy.
we also usually review automod actions quickly, although in this specific case we must have missed this, as we had a lot of other true spam removals in the last days.
you have been unbanned from LW and your post has been restored.
not at all. nobody can revert edits, only the creator can edit it again.
moderators can restore removed (mod action) posts and comments, but not deleted (creator action) posts and comments.
this comment section is not a place to rant about other instances
calling other people pedophiles is not trolling.
such allegations can be life-ruining and should not be done lightly.
it was a significant part of the brand of a spam/advertisement campaign several months ago
we have started looking into reports about jordan a few days ago, and we have already identified several occasions where he has been acting in ways that we don't consider to be acceptable for a member of our community team. it may still take us a few more days to come to final conclusions for how we will proceed with this, as this is something that needs time for a proper review and discussions within the team. we all have lives outside of lemmy, where we need and want to spend our time, and something like this takes hours to properly review.
one of the things we have already discussed will be establishing an internal CoC for community team members and people higher up in the team, which includes ensuring that we keep a certain level of professionalism in our interactions, even if another party doesn't. we're obviously all humans, but that doesn't mean we don't have responsibility for our actions, especially if it's not a one-off thing. we will also consider if this may be something to establish for community moderators in general, but for now our primary focus is on people in positions above a regular user or moderator.
