      It’s up, I can see the content (mostly it’s just complaining about Joe Biden who is clearly a master conspiratist).

  This particular community was removed this morning (as you can see in the modlog).

  I don’t want to go into too many details, but suffice it to say that this is not the first time the responsible users (or, potentially, single user with multiple accounts) has tried to cause disruptions on lemm.ee, so this is why they have been banned from lemm.ee as well.

  I know the community is still visible on sh.itjust.works. The reason for this is most likely technical - either the community removal action did not get received properly by that instance, or the fact that one of the mods was a user of that instance has prevented the removal from being acknowledged by sh.itjust.works. Either way, lemm.ee is not hosting this community anymore.

    Is there a way to report communities such as this one? One commenter suggested via posts on the community would this be the best way? Is there even a need to report these communities?

      You can reach out to admins directly if there is reason to believe that reports are being closed by mods before admins can see them

      Not just a new and growing platform – constant gardening.

  Report it, I don’t know about lemm.ee admins but the lemmy.world admins have been good about removing rule breaking stuff amd stuff from bigots amd the kinds of people you mention in your post so I hope the lemm.ee admins are the same

  So report it and please include relevant information in the report, don’t just send an empty report because I’ve seen admins asking people not to send empty reports

    Its gone now, but I couldn’t find a report button for that community only a block button

    • x4740N@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Report the posts of any commu ity that violated rules and explain in the report that the entire community breaks the rules

  For real. I just had the misfortune of looking at that cesspit for about 45 seconds and I feel like I need a shower.

  There is nothing if value there whatsoever.

    Thankfully it appears to have been removed. I was ready to pack up and move to another instance if the admins indicated that they were ok with having that hosted here. It would be all downhill for this instance if they allowed it.

    That community was horrific and I’m really glad it was dealt with, but this raises some big-picture moderation questions that will need to be answered moving forward. For example: What is the difference between sharing an extreme opinion v.s. sharing misinformation/disinformation on lemm.ee? Unless admins make an executive decision in the meantime, I think it would be useful to have a productive discussion on criteria for content like this because there will hands down be more situations like this down the road.

  Yeah. I didn’t realise initially, and wrote a response to a post on there, with multiple links to research (real research, by real scientists). Response was banning for misinformation. Kinda proud to be banned from that cesspool.

  Looks like it's gone. And nothing of value was lost.

    It is not gone unfortunately.

      Specifically, this one. lemmings.world/comment/817545

      Let’s make sure we’re erasing this shitstain of a community instead of shifting our attention and trusting in the system, y’all. 🤘🏼

  Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !vaccines@lemm.ee

• HardlightCereal@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  How do I report !religiouscringetards@lemmy.world ?

  source

  • lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Since you are on lemmy.world and that community it also on lemmy.world you would need to address it on that instance. This is the meta community for lemm.ee so I’m sure our admins won’t even review it. I briefly looked at that community though and it looks to be mostly a meme/joke community with an unfortunate name. I doubt if Ruud or anyone would do anything but maybe the mods would agree to rename it if that’s what your concern is.

    LMAO what an absolute gem of a community! Very confusing, too, if certain people stumble upon it and don’t understand the point.

  Somebody should make a community called “fake news” and fill it with the Onion style headlines.

  Oh look another COVID shot bigot equating people not wanting to make their own decisions about taking experimental therapeutics proven to cause heart damage in a high percentage of patients. People like you are why democracy is dead.
