before people criticize me I am not using my main account because I do not feel safe bringing up these issues there, as these people and issues still are not dealt with. I do not want to put myself in danger, I will not be engaging in or attempting to post polls or votes here.

I would like to start by saying that I’ve noticed a lot of bad faith or spammy communities pop-up recently. The user is dramaticcat many of the communities break rules 1 and 2, maybe even rule 3 (an example of one such community is [email protected]) as they are purely dedicated to hatred, trolling, and possibly even spam.

Also a small handful of users have also been making threats or calls to violence and while these have been moderated nicely moderators and external instance admins the admins of this instance haven’t done anything about this. This is worrying as admins are supposed to enforce the instance rules and remove disruptive users and communities who are in violation of said rules but the admins of Sh.itjust.works have not been doing that. This is a problem because it means that any malicious actor could join at any time and wreak havok on this instance just like Exploding-heads did on another unmoderated instance known as rammy.site way back when. We obviously know how that went.

It’s important that we discuss this problem now while we might have a chance of contacting the admins rather than later when the damage has been done.

    What are we supposed to do with a vague post that contains zero actionable information? What are the bad faith and spammy communities of concern? Has OP been reporting rule-breaking posts to bring them to the attention of mods and admins? Has OP tried messaging the admins directly?

      It’s a 1 day old account that I don’t understand why they’re mad at me. None of my communities are hate communities and many are for cybersquatting purposes

    That KF community is clearly satirical IMO, the one week old post on there is literally a farming youtube video.

    This is like complaining that Anime Titties [email protected] is pornographic, when it’s actually a politics community
