We’ve been seeing frequent spam waves of targeted harassment from accounts made on programming.dev over the course of several weeks, which has among other unacceptable things contained transphobia, obscene pictures of animals, calling for the victim to commit suicide, and other hateful rhetoric.

For these reasons we are defederating from programming.dev. We may refederate in the future if we have reason to believe there will be no further problems like these from their instance.

Edit: I've spoken with the admins there and I may refederate once I have more details on their application system. To be clear they don't support anything posted by these accounts and are deleting them as they are detected.

Dang. I'd always used programming.dev as a verification instance to ensure my posts were migrating across the fed. It's a shame to lose them as a resource.

( ( looks at modlog... ) )

Well ok then. No regrets here.

How can you see another community's modlog?

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 points 9 hours ago

You can go to programming.dev/modlog

Go to the instance (programming.dev) in your browser and at bottom of page it will say "modlog".

Theres also "instances" which is fun to look at and see which servers are federated and defederated from a given server

Thanks! I keep forgetting the bottom of a page will have content too, instead of it just scrolling forever. I've caught current-year-itis.

That seems to be showing me the modlogs of all instances, not just programming.dev
