Hi ! We do not restrict people asking for donations. No measure has been taken against :

The issue here is that we limit some big instances as a whole because of recurring spam waves. https://mastodon.social and https://mastodon.world are part of it and this is why any user on those instances will be limited by our instance.

See https://eldritch.cafe/about

I don't know what to do. Measures taken against instances are here for good reasons, but this is obviously a problem as we do not want to restrict reach and visibility for people in need.

I'll lift the limit on those two instances right now, at least temporarily, until I have the input of the rest of the team on how to proceed with this issue.

@gomli Not on our software (Mastodon Glitch-Soc) as far as I know.

And this solution would need a lot of work because many instances (and some medium to big one like us) limit mastodon.social and co

They can move to others instances but it'll always be a tradeoff.
Bigger instances with less strict moderation have a bigger instance reach but will be limited because of it.

A dedicated instance could work but take care about federation issues on small instances or they will not have good network reach

We have suspended peertube.biz and comics.peertube.biz today. After receiving a report about one of their users, we took a look at the instances and found them hosting neonazi content all the way up to reuploads of Trump staffers' videos, as well as racist, queerphobic, and antifeminist content.

We have limited ieji.de today after learning that its moderators have repeatedly failed to act on reports of transphobia, racism, and misinformation. Several reports were forwarded from us that were entirely without consequences; one such user continued to harass others and post nazi dogwhistles after receiving a warning from a moderator that was not followed up on. Even public complaints only resulted in a limit.

Barring any improvements in moderation, we will defederate from ieji.de in two weeks (Monday April 15, 2024). At that point, all of our users who follow someone on ieji.de (and vice versa) will be unable to do so.
