  • Dunno about the mods, but the AZ admins are 100% happy to continue to platform racists>

    Untrue. Starting with a statement of "fact" like that immediately has me questioning if you are posting in good faith.

    When alerted and given information, they’ll maybe remove one or two offending posts but do absolutely nothing about the user despite a repeated history of it.>

    The information you've previously compiled was either moderated already, or deleted by author when I saw most of if. What remained were ambiguous, possibly offensive comments if interpreted in particular ways . Either way... I didn't see anything warranting further action than had already occurred. That and your actions at the time, harassing said user in every thread they posted in, had me take your input with a large grain of salt.

    As far as I’m concerned the instance is run in very very bad faith.>

    I don't think there is anything I can say to convince you how wrong you are on this one. We do the best with the information available to us, and we're only human.

    As for your edit:

    why you refuse to take meaningful action>

    I'm not. I'm happy to ban users when it is warranted.

    why you refuse to take meaningful action against racism towards Aboriginal peoples>

    Can you point me towards any such content on AZ?

    allow said racist to continue to operate on your platform?>

    I've not seen any unaddressed reports for them that warrant action on my part. I'm not online 24x7 though, so often reports are addressed by other mods/admins before I see what was reported.

    Looking over comments from this user, I see plenty to dislike. But I won't ban a user because I dislike them, their opinions or necessarily how they express them.

  • Re-read my previous comment, I won't be commenting further.

  • No. AZ isn't run by rules lawyers, no interest in posting every single possible action that contravenes "don't be a dick".

  • Yes.. no response in the sub 1 hour timeframe since you messaged me.

    I consider editorialised headlines to break global rule 0 of AZ, especially when being deliberately antagonistic in attempting to provoke a fight from those with differing opinions to you. ie don't be a dick. If you want to pick a fight, do it elsewhere.

    In this case, I agree with the broad strokes of your opinion on the topic of the article you linked. Repost it with the original published title and it will stay. Add your own commentary to the post, not the headline.

  • I know of multiple people who have reported this user previously, so what would my report achieve? >

    Mod/admin actions are typically per comment/post, except for the most egregious issues which can result in actions taken against user accounts.

  • If a comment/post breaks the community or instance rules, report it and move on.

    Posting this in unrelated threads where no rules have been broken can be construed as spam and/or harassment. Please do not do it.

  • With the resources available its not feasible for AZ to develop/deploy custom solutions that can be resolved by remote instances with trivial configuration changes.

    I'm not going to address specific parts of your post, suffice to say I disagree on almost everything you said.

    As I said previously, if you have a workable solution please do devlop it and submit a PR to the lemmy devs. I'd be happy to try your suggestion should they roll it in.

  • You're contradicting yourself there. By definition adding an external service is a customization to lemmy. I'm not interested in running un-vetted software from a third party.

    This has been discussed previously with a request from a reputable source to batching content from LW. That setup required an additional server for AZ, close to LW. And for LW to send their outgoing federation traffic for AZ to it, which then batched and send to the real AZ server. This offer was declined, though appreciated.

    I've been transparent and open about the situation. You seem to think this is the fault of AZ, and we're willfully not taking an action that we should be taking. This is not the case.

    As it stands the issue is inherent with single threaded lemmy federation, which is why the devs added the option for multiple concurrent threads. Until LW enable this feature, we'll see delayed content from them when their activity volume is greater than what can be federated with a single thread. To imply this is the fault of the receiving instances is disingenuous at best, and deliberately misleading at worst.

  • Note I said lemmy AND the activitypub protocol, ie lemmy does not currently have this capability. If it were added to mainline lemmy I'd be open to configuring it, but its not so I can't.

    The root cause of the issue is well understood, the solution is available in lemmy already: multiple concurrent outgoing federation connections to remote instances. AZ has had this configured since it was available. LW have not yet enabled this, though they're now running a version that has it available.

    Appreciate the offer, but I'm not interested in customising the AZ server configuration more than it already is. If you write it up and submit a PR that the main lemmy devs incorporate, I'd be happy to look at it.

  • That isn't how lemmy and the activitypub protocol work. Source instance pushes metadata about new content, remote instance then needs to pull it. If we've not received the push yet, we can't pull the additional info.
