This should help us cut down on the trolls. We recommend other instances do the same, because they will likely be targeted also.
I apologize for all their gore-posts as well, no one should have to see that. We’ll try to look for more admins from different time-zones as well to get them faster.
The two other possibilities we have currently as options, are turning on required email verification, and as a last resort, closing signups. I personally would rather not do either, but they are options.
I second this. If someone/something is banned and removed from an instance it shouldn’t still be visible on a linked instance. If this isn’t already a pending feature request I’ll happily make one for it.
Also,it would be nice to have some sort of moderation/ban federation to avoid having to do the work on each instance.
I’m sure it’s easier said than done but would be very beneficial to the project and community.

I think there is an open issue for federating bans. Once @nutomic@lemmy.ml gets some time he said it wouldn’t be too difficult.
