Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.

Part of the problem is the instance’s open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup. This in combination with an inactive admin is a recipe for abuse.

We hope this is only temporary but we have to do this to protect our users.

Edit: we use fediseer, have a look https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Edit 2: We got in touch with the Feddit.nl admin. Email requirements were added to the sign-up process and we’re setting up a communication channel. So that means we are federating with Feddit.nl again!

    Please use “I N G E P O L D E R D” as its not quite as racist as “GEKOLONISEERD”.

    For the people not in the know, the Dutch like to meme about the warcrimes in Indonesia and Africa and when they speak dutch in a comment section they make joking gestures to the time of colonization, like its a good thing, or something to take lightly. Quite frankly colonizing isnt funny in any shape or form and I, another dutch person feel ashamed and sorry for whoever took offense to the comment above. Not of all of us are like this.

    Our history books mostly skip over the warcrimes done in indonesia and how bad the slave trade is, but its luckily improving.

    For the guy above me;

    Warcrimes of the Dutch in Indonesia:

    How the dutch turned south africa into a racist country:

    Over half a million people got ripped away from their families and traded by the Dutch in the 1800s;

    This is why I think it shouldnt be taken lightly. Its like a german joking about the time their ancestors murdered millions of jews and bringing it up whenever they see another German in a comment thread.

      Das tun wir tatsächlich nicht aber der Grund warum dein Fahrrad weg ist ist dass deine Mutter mir das aus Dankbarkeit geschenkt hat nachdem ich sie gefickt hab.
