Hello, its none of my business, but I wouldn't refederate just because the admins seem cool. They might be 'disavowing' rather than giving an actual apology.

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. :)
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?
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
Same on our instance. It's ridiculous
love to see cross-instance collaboration 🫡
Good job mods! Appreciate you protecting this community!
thanks for keeping us safe! also if sounds like respectful and constructive exchange with the admins of their instance which is also great to see!
dang
I'll miss the programmer memes but that's the smallest price to pay for community safety
Thanks, admins!

Have you tried talking to the admins first?
I do intend to send them a DM soon, but defederation happened first so we don't have to deal with the harassment accounts and so users don't have to be exposed to all the abuse.
Defederation is not punishment, nor is it permanent. It is a reaction of self defense and can be reversed later.
AFAIK the only active admin (who is also the main admin account) was already instance banned from Blahaj for transphobia - so there wasn't an easy way to talk to the admin in the first place ... (at least not from an account on a Blahaj instance)
Pretty disappointing from p devs side
Thank you, and continued thanks for not stealing my username (yet)
What the hell. Ty mods
Based blahaj admins
Good decision. Thanks. <3
Thanks!
