For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • SJW doesn’t ban email domains, IPs nor VPNs.

    To my knowledge, we’ve alsp never shared specific details about users with dotworld or other instances for that matter.
    I myself would take offense about leaking any of this info.

    The only thing I can even think of is we might have shared something like this once or twice during bigger spam attacks:

    this last wave of spammer were all made in the last hour and fit the following pattern “5 letters, 5 numbers @ sketchy domain dot com” without sharing actual user info.

    Edit:
    I don’t know about dotworld, but at least on our end, there’s only TheDude and me who even have access to see a user’s email address.
    The only other times we’ve really even checked one was before 2FA & password reset worked properly.

    We even have users who didn’t want to provide an email at all which we’ve verified manually through matrix.


  • This reads like ragebait or a hit piece, but I don’t even know what I’m supposed to rage about?

    We all use some sort of automod bot to flag or even ban accounts.
    We’ve all banned accounts for way less.

    Am I supposed to be offended that this user, of all people, was banned from anywhere?
    Or that an LLM summary is linked in the modlog for it? If an admin reviewed it, why should I care?

    Am I supposed to get mad about political profiling?
    /looks around to literally everywhere in the fediverse and gestures wildly.

    My only gripe is it would maybe be more environmentally friendly to just skim that profile instead of using an LLM but whatever.
    “Save the planet, ban people with the old ban hammer.”

    IDK this whole thing feels like stirring shit for the sake of it. WTF is even the point of this post.
