Would you like the admins to permaban them?

I've Gone Trek in a They Might Be Giants board as well!English2·2 months agoWe’re not opposed to hosting non-Star Trek communities as long as they adhere to instance guidelines, but before you move you should know that the federation gap with .world is closing and should be finally caught up before the end of the week.

SysAdmin@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Prodigy | 2x01 & 2x02 "Into the Breach"English3·10 months agoThe downvotes are all coming from accounts on other instances, which as @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website suggested, makes us think it’s most likely people browsing “All” and not appreciating seeing twenty discussion posts (not that that justifies it).
I don’t want to be a mod here anymore 😭
SysAdmin@startrek.websiteto Risa@startrek.website•Looks like the server was over 25 tooEnglish10·2 years agoThings may be uh- crispy for a few hours while we get re-Federated and all the other instances whallop us with traffic. It should pass within a day.

You’re on feddit.de. When you scroll /c/Risa you are scrolling a “copy” on feddit.de.
I assure you we are fully functional.
EDIT: FWIW I checked /c/Risa on feddit.de and thumbnails loaded fine …maybe try clearing your browser cache?
SysAdmin@startrek.websiteto Risa@startrek.website•Especially true after the Lemmy devs confirmed itEnglish14·2 years agoWe’ve been targeted too by what’s probably a couple of script kiddies trying to brute force their way into our server. Not exactly a DDOS but a similar effect. Just had to remodulate the shields a few times.
SysAdmin@startrek.websiteto Risa@startrek.website•Especially true after the Lemmy devs confirmed itEnglish31·2 years agoStories like this make me very happy to hear. When I heard the /r/StarTrek and Daystrom mods talking about joining Lemmy I’d thought bringing their reputation for positivity and tolerance to a Trek-themed instance could provide a familiar and comfortable jumping-off point for users unsure about the broader Fediverse.
SysAdmin@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•UPDATED 9-3: StarTrek.website - Lemmy info, FAQ, Patreon info, future plans, and more!1·2 years agoTrue, but if Meta (or anyone) wanted to “directly” get that data, it would be as trivial as setting up an instance on something as small as a Raspberry Pi and subscribing to a community here. We would have no way of knowing who it is or stopping them. Defederation is a tool to prevent brigading, not lurking.
If (if) Meta wanted to set a lemmy-style platform, preemptively defederating from it would be a largely symbolic gesture. Doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing, like I said we’ll cross that bridge if and when it becomes relevant.
SysAdmin@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•UPDATED 9-3: StarTrek.website - Lemmy info, FAQ, Patreon info, future plans, and more!0·2 years agoThe “user data” (comments, posts, votes, etc) that would be available to a hypothetical instance owned my Meta is already public for anyone, so not much we have control over there. “Defederating” essentially just means “blanket banning” a bunch of users at once.
SysAdmin@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•UPDATED 9-3: StarTrek.website - Lemmy info, FAQ, Patreon info, future plans, and more!0·2 years agoWe’re aware of the pact and will cross that bridge when (or if) it ever really happens. We’re certainly no fans of Meta (or Reddit,or Twitter). So far it seems more likely to affect Mastodon than Lemmy/Kbin.

Minimal, but it is the domain that gets blocked so the attacker would still need to purchase a new domain.
