Nothing. It’s just 3 communities on dbzero that are blocked and as far as I know, they’re only blocked on .world. There’s no defederation so you as a user signed up to dbzero can still participate in any .world community and any .world user can still interact with communities on dbzero apart from the three named.
I don’t know about you but engaging a lawyer and going to court to defend myself would be a massive financial drain. And to risk that on simply the hope that a court might find in my favour is far too big of a risk. Then add on all the unwanted public exposure, the internet notoriety etc. Fuck that.
Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

A few months ago. They said that hosting companies and other providers were refusing to work with them if they continued with it as a feature.
It’s just too easy to abuse by bad people using it to host very questionable content. Lots of people then moved to ivpn and then they removed it too, for the same reasons.
I think at least some of it is due to his acceptance of Meta’s Threads (should they ever get around to federating). He see’s it as an opportunity, a lot of others see it as letting the wolf through the door.
Note: I’m not arguing either side, I’m just saying that I think that’s what the issue is.
Today I realized that is possible login on twitter with a temp mail through VPN in a complete anonymous way. I think it’s a very good thing. I don’t understand why here a lot of people criticize Elon Musk. I think that now it’s a platform more open to debates, it’s almost free speech. No other popular big tech platform...
The real question is; why would you want to, given that the dead bird site is a cesspool of extreme rightwing awfulness? What are you hoping to learn or take from being on there?
I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home...
If all the big instances go away through lack of financial support, they’re going to find out they paid $130 to swap Sync memes with the 3 people left.
Not the person you were replying to but it does get a bit much when a thread isn’t about Sync - like this one for example, which is trying to draw attention to funding Lemmy development and instance sustainability - and then it gets hit with people talking about how much they love Sync and they’re happy to pay for it.
It is absolutely blowing my mind how insular some people are. ‘just let me use Sync’, ‘I just want to access Lemmy in my favourite app’, ‘who asked you for your opinion?’
It’s like they don’t know that the API their app accesses was built by a couple of guys or that the data their app consumes is paid for by people running that software. And then they get uppity when you point out to them that maybe a thread pointing out it might be a good idea to support those people isn’t the place for them to tell everyone how much they love Sync.
“Lemmy is entirely open source and funded exclusively by donations. The maintainers dessalines and nutomic have been working on it full time for the past years thanks to generous support by the NLnet foundation. Now that this support is coming to an end, the project is increasingly relying on donations from individual users to fund development. Your donation allows the developers to fully focus on making Lemmy better for everyone.”
It’s not just the Tories, Keir Starmer has already tried to get VPN’s included in the bill. Don’t kid yourself its going to be any better when Labour get in.
Apple has said planned changes to British surveillance laws could affect iPhone users’ privacy by forcing it to withdraw security features, which could ultimately lead to the closure of services such as FaceTime and iMessage in the UK.
I might be unaware of some technical issues here but why not just get another domain, point it at the server, then update the database to change all references to lemmy.ml to thenewdomain.tld and then make an announcement on a couple of the bigger instances? Federation will take care of propagating the news far and wide. Then, as users hear the news they can just login using the same details and those of us subscribed to Communities on .ml can just update our subscriptions.
I mean, it’s not a perfect solution but it’ll work, surely?
Sad and accurate. Energy bills + cost of living + the political event that cannot be named here and suddenly a traditional meal that we all expect to always be there and always be good value is just too expensive. Two small cod + chips is £20 near me these days.
Pubs are going the same way too. I don’t mean the big soulless chains like Spoons but the smaller locals. Since COVID, 4 pubs in my town have closed, unable to compete. The ones that survived aren’t cosy locals anymore, they survived by having themed events two or three times a week. I don’t blame them but it seems the days of just nipping into the pub for a quiet pint or a chat with your neighbours are gone.
Its decentralized nature isn’t due to censorship, or a lack of it, but its structure. Of course there’s going to be some degree of censorship because instances all have individual rules which, if you break, you’ll be penalized for which can take the form of removal of content.
The only way to have total free speech is create your own instance which is a total free for all but then you’ll attract the worst sort of people and your instance will end up defederated by instance owners who don’t want content from literal Nazis federated to their instances.
It seems like rumours and suspicions have solidified today. So I was genuinely interested to see who was presenting the 10 o’clock news this evening – and how the current BBC-related story was covered.
Whole situation is getting weirder and weirder. The young person at the middle of all this has now issued a letter via a lawyer (and a well known lawyer too) saying they’d contacted The Sun prior to publication denying anything inappropriate took place and that he and his mum were estranged.
Then the step-dad said they’d put all the allegations to the BBC for over an hour when a few days ago the parents claimed they hadn’t spoken to anyone from the BBC.
God knows what the truth of all this is but I don’t think its as straightforward as it first appeared.
I already know of one admin of a very large Mastodon instance who’s already stated they’re not going to defed and are adopting a ‘wait and see’ approach.
You might need to re-read my post. I don’t believe I said Threads was going to EEE Lemmy. I referred (repeatedly) to ActivityPub. So, it’s a bit misleading to say I’m inciting a pitchfork mob.
You’re right to say Mastodon and Lemmy don’t operate seamlessly, but Mastodon users can already follow and post to Lemmy Communities. They see Communities as just another User. And the more fediverse tools develop, I’m sure this will only strengthen.
I’m also not saying ‘corporations bad’. I’m saying ‘corporations are unnecessary for the fediverse to exist and probably will do bad things’.
