For hobby projects its rather the other way around sunday deployments are the works fridays deployments ( additionally 4 day instead of 3 days of unavailability
We dont censor words, thats just a way that lemmy works. On local its behaviour is not to censor it, rather block it. To not block federation, lemmy just censors it instead of ignoring/blocking the comment or post.
Investigation doesnt mean like we check your browser or whatever, we check our instance ocasionally and check profiles if they break our TOS ( like any instance ).
Investigation is not always like we call the hounds on anyone like police and lawyers. You still interact with our servers, even tho its indirect, your federated user is still on our servers and with it your data. When your TOS doesnt apply to you then we would not even react to reports of you because "you are out of our teritory", the TOS is a thing for YOUR rights and OUR rights.
We declare it just in a bit more legal way. But this just sums up what the most instances already do, but just dont declare it like lemmy.world does.
We have commonly contact with law enforcement when it comes to CSAM, CP or any life threats against a user.
If you dont want anything to do with lemmy.world, please dont interact with us, you can block our instance on newer lemmy instances in your settings. We can remove your content through a ban + content removal if you want it.
We included this in our TOS to protect our services, volunteers and its users.
yes your instance of your user is subject to our TOS.
If you dont interact at all then of course not. We do this for the safety of our service, as any other server does ( as their server rules apply to federated content / users too ).
I still use firefox ( and any fork of it ) rather than use any differently coloured chromium ( including brave, their ceo does not have a good reputation too )
I think it was just a temporary outage, it works on my side. We will investigate what happened if it was an outage.
One thing you can check, are browser log, what exact message are you getting?
