  • Shit on the political compass all you want, it does help bring a bit of nuance into discussions like this:

  • Upon closer look, you guys didn't block them: hexbear.net/instances

    Anyway, I don't think people were really pushed away from LBZ, it was just the 196 thing and a few people gettin banned for pissing themselves about neopronouns.

    In any case, the 196 community wanted to stay, the alternate comm is more popular (by MAU) than the original.

  • Assuming you're talking about moss (the admin, not the plant), she mentioned that they didn't try to leave because of anything due to neopronouns (and she mentioned this is the post).
    It was because of Ada moderating communities as well, and being (in her opinion), overbearing.

    FWIW, the migration was botched, and everyone's at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone now.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't hexbear also block LBZ? If so, why's that?

  • isn’t the entire point of a federated platform that you’re going to be able to access other instances?

    Yes, but the point isn't to connect to every instance.

    Curated instances and smaller networks within the fediverse were always thought of.

  • They only block lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, and a few small servers.

    Its honestly a really pleasant place to be -- I see no negativity there.

  • https://lemmy.zip/ is the closest imo.

    I see a few people recommending lemmygrad, lemmy.ml and hexbear, I don't really think you'd enjoy those servers too much unless you are interested in leftism/communism.

  • I think they're talking about lemmy.blahaj.zone.

  • Different admins; some instances federate with some, some block others.

  • The main problem would be that all the images disappear with it.

    Of course, I could use an external host.

  • Admin burnout.

  • Yeah, but there's no point in continuing to use it at this point.

  • So why did you guys federate with it?

  • lemm.ee is shutting down, due to admin burnout.

  • All the images disappear, since they are just links on remote instances.

    A copy of all the accounts, comms, posts and comments stay on any instance around to recive them, but they are not fetchable.

  • Hopefully they come back.

  • Here is a very poor edit
