People have been highly vocal about de-federating from XYZ instance because they're "transphobia", "nazis" or something else they object to.
People should be looking at the tools they currently have, blocking communities/magazines or whole domains, that way content you don't like is hidden just for you, without impacting anyone else.
Banhammers on an admin level should be a method of last resort
Apparently this guy thinks Nazis are everywhere. Almost reminds me of Russian propaganda, Ukraine is full of Nazis we need to go over there and clean house etc.
It sounds like they just don't like people with differing opinions and anyone who doesn't toe the line must be a Nazi or Nazi sympathiser 🙄
Yeah that's something I've not seen discussed here much. I get that people want control, but getting started with an ActivityPub centric site (like kbin) is now cheaper than ever. Get your own cheap hosting on a VPS and handle some traffic.
People can even create their own instances just to federate with everyone and absorb their content if they're worried about the rules and regulations or "x server not connecting with y"
Overall I think it's a pretty good system compared to a single silo like Reddit
Amazed that regardless of the controversy, he's never to blame. Nope, not even a little bit, there's always an excuse / justification, even when this time it's a royal commission, the highest commission in the land.
Switching this to local data centers means the government can just up and ask for that date when they want it and Chinese companies are obligated to obey, compared to when it was kept overseas.
Eventually most places will support a "block domain" feature so if sports.lemmy for example keeps pushing out sports content and you don't want to see it, you can block it on your end (without impacting everyone else on your server who may want to see it)
Seen this sentiment that green bubbles = bad a few times online but never it's never come up for me. I assume this is a teen - early adult specific issue where the idea is mostly to be part of the group
Yeah, what are they actually getting that's arguably better to justify switching your entire ecosystem over for? Android and iOS have close enough feature parity that it's really up to use choice at this point
Don't understand why it's so hard to create a consistent, clean looking windows UI. I get having to support ancient apps but so much of the experience feels unpolished
It's been a pretty decent experience so far, similar to GitHub but a little more basic. The markdown editor is my biggest gripe so far, it has weird backspace handling on mobile
How are they going to funnel all that user data to the CCP if they close down. Having access to secure notes and passwords directly from people sounds like a goldmine
From memory posts are partially archived by Google's cache, so if they're indexed correctly people should still be able to search for something and have it as a result? Unsure if that would work if the whole domain is actually gone though
