The racist and disturbing posts from Copperhead have started again. James is also lying about the retraction of the Android Headlines article and falsely claims the article was removed due to harassment of the author. Contacting them again to refute this.

twitter.com/DanielMicay/st Seems they're is pretty mad about us getting one of these inaccurate articles taken down. GrapheneOS Matrix channel is now being persistently raided by people posting racist spam and images of gore, etc. Not currently able to allow new people to join it.

James has built a little community based around the lies he tells about GrapheneOS and myself. He incites them to make these attacks on us. He doesn't get to disclaim responsibility for attacks on us based on his libel. Matrix makes this much worse than it'd be via the IRC end...

Matrix is designed in a way that makes this much more of a problem. Cannot simply get the administrators of a server to act upon it due to federation with many servers. Most users use the channel via Matrix too. Going to be appointing a bunch of moderators to help deal with it.

Does Matrix not have a thing where node admins drop federation with peers that tolerate abusive users? That seems to be how Mastodon manages not to be awful.

Replying to

There's very lax moderation and they're very reluctant to stop federating with servers. Unless the people running the server can be shown to be involved in the abuse, I don't think they'll stop federating. They keep making new accounts on multiple servers.
