Lemmy.world announces blocking communities via Discord [update]

Jump

  • Lemmy.sdf.org they are a very very very old internet tech focused community that’s been since the late 80s. They’ve been pretty much everywhere on the internet as it’s grown

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • The fact that ISPs in the US are not considered utilities and are regulated as such is baffling but kinda on brand

    • Looks like google domains is no more.

    Jump

  • They really made the zip domain then dipped out

    • Would there be interest and support in potentially building an art focused lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • I freaking love ben 10

    • Lemmy.world banning piracy made me realize it's something a client can solve

    Jump

  • It's deeply unfortunate it's essentially made itself the "default"

    • Critical support for the Lemmy world peeps in their fight against pro-intellectual property nerds

    Jump

  • It came after I was arguing with weirdo antisemites in c/atheistmemes so I assume it was because of that but I have no idea and don’t really care to know that much

    • People bitching about Lemmy.world blocking piracy instances sound like spoiled teenagers with no consideration of consequences

    Jump

  • Absolutely, literally just swap instances. Hopefully instance migration comes in a similar way that mastodon offers.

    Jump

  • That's a very soft looking cat 10/10

    • Removal of piracy communities

    Jump

  • You literally can go to another instance you know that right.... that's the beauty of the fediverse...

    • Removal of piracy communities

    Jump

  • What in the hell?

    • Removal of piracy communities

    Jump

  • Which shouldn't have happened in the first place.

    • Removal of piracy communities

    Jump

  • I don't even think threads would be all that compatible with lemmy even if they implemented activitypub support, the way it interacts with mastodon is janky at best

    • Removal of piracy communities

    Jump

  • People shouldn't be congregating on a single instance anyway. The federation shouldn't be focused on trying to make centralization, communities and people need to spread out

    • Would there be interest and support in potentially building an art focused lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • Gotcha, I made an account over there as well

    • Hey, I host a lemmy instance focused on books & reading (and all the communities that fall under that umbrella)

    Jump

    • Is creating and maintaining a community on Lemmy hard?

    Jump

  • Aw I appreciate it. It’s all good, slow organic growth is better than unsustainable rapid artificial growth. I hope you’re enjoying your book and I’d love to hear your thoughts on whatever it may be (and maybe add another book to my ever growing TBR πŸ‘€)

    • Is creating and maintaining a community on Lemmy hard?

    Jump

  • A community? No, you just gotta be dedicated to starting conversations and promoting it.

    An instance though? Can be hit or miss.

    Jump

  • I wish they were visible to others or had an admin option to add it the modlog cause people write some funny shit in there 😭

    Jump

  • If not supporting means you feel that we don't deserve civil rights then yeah they should be banned

    • Would there be interest and support in potentially building an art focused lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • I can help you figure out the email stuff, it's really really frustrating to get working with lemmy but not impossible. I'll DM my matrix chat link. And yeah, I've noticed some of the complications and I suspect it's similar issues I've had myself as well on a VPS. There's specific settings you need to do if you are using a VPS that has reverse DNS set to the lemmy instance domain sometimes.
