  • Yeah, had a drug dealer burgle our apartment (just an opportunistic thing, spare keys had been left outside by a friend who was moving). Fortunately no-one was in, but it sucked to have to deal with all the damage and security.

    We eventually tracked them down when they sold some stuff though and they were actually arrested and we got a few things back.

    It was awesome the police actually raided them. Unfortunately the new government released them as prisoners with “non-violent” offences.
















  • They can - but the issue is if the other instances don’t help ban them too then it can become a lot of work literally whackamole.

    Like I understand it, but I still think this is an over-reaction. Lemmy.world has been good in banning spammers I’ve reported there in my experience.

    We really need more tools for the UI experience (starting with fixing the refreshing home page and post switching bugs!) - like to allow communities and instances to completely block image posts and comments, to auto-moderate URLs, detect users posting repeat content, etc. but de-federating like this is not the answer IMO.
