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.

Well done.

Please continue the good work you're doing to keep the community safe from these trolls until the admins on that server can find a way to keep them out.

Let us hope the solution is easy to implement on their end so they don't suffer unnecessary sleepless nights over it.

May we soon see them refederated. :)
