Defederation of eviltoast.org (self.announcements)

Hey all -

Just a quick announcement that we're currently not federating with eviltoast.org - it seems to be the base of the spam bots we've seen recently. I don't think the site administration teams have anything to do with the spam however they also seem to be absent, and are not doing anything to combat it. Until such time that they are actively cleaning up their spam issue they will remain defederated. I'm pretty lax about our federation, but this has been a persistent issue (See rule 9). I'm sure the spammer will probably find another host at some point though.

Thanks for being a member of TheLemmy.Club

Edit: it looks like thier admins have cleaned it up. Removing for now.

No problem, but FYI this is for thelemmy.club - this won't affect you on Lemmy.world.

Joys of federation, eh?
