I do think it was unfair for the trolls to coordinate a porn-meme-NSFW attack upon them

Did they really do that? Sounds like harassment to me, can't they be banned?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

What's the point of banning someone when creating new accounts is free? They just make a new account and continue the harassment.

As such, Beehaw.org just mass banned everyone from lemmy.world, the source of the attack.

They argue that lemmy.world needs to be better at curating users. Obviously, as a "reddit refugee" site (or kinda-sorta one anyway), that's incompatible with Lemmy.world's idea of running this site. So we're at this standstill, for now.


In any case, these are typical troll tactics. Beehaw was the first to deal with them, and first to click the defederate button.
