Hello I am writing this post to inform you that rammy.site has been taken over by far right-wing posters from exploding-heads. They have been posting extremely toxic transphobic content and climate denial and have also started posting onto other instances. They're using Rammy.site to spread their content from exploding-heads because it has been defederated by the bigger instances and are taking advantage of the fact that the admin isn't doing his duties to use it as a bridge to spread their hateful and abusive content to the rest of the fediverse. I know that some people think that I'm exagerrating or that I'm just making these posts because I "don't agree with what they're posting" but I'm not this is actually a very serious problem, go check the instance out for yourself if you don't believe me it has become just as bad if not worse than EH.

Also just to be clear this isn't a new idea, other instances have already Defederated rammy.site due to the current problems on the site:

I'm sure there are also plenty more that have as well or more that are going to.

As an instance admin I'd like to take a look to see if I should defederate, but literally every time I check it's been down

Site is up for me, hasn't gone down even once in the past few weeks.

Ah I think I know what's going, try https://rammy.site and if that doesn't work try accessing it through Tor (or brave browser in a Tor connection incognito tab).

Ah I see, they don't know how to configure NGINX (or whatever they're using.)

Also, ew

I don't know what's going on with it, I doubt it'll be around too much longer though, admin abandoned it and it's probably due to run out of hosting or domain any time now.
