I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...
Like many people I'm here because of reddit going to shit. Twitter has increasingly been shit. gycat is shutting down in September. To me it seems like lots of bastions of social media are crumpling, but as a previous active reddit user, I've been personally effected. Is this just a frequency illusion or has something changed...

The Supreme Court has blocked President Biden's plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for more than 40 million Americans. The court's conservative justices expressed skepticism about Biden's authority to forgive student loan debt without direct authorization from Congress.

I played the entirety of Destiny 1. Was looking forward to the move to PC with the sequel but everything after was just disappointment after disappointment. Every season just felt like the final season of HIMYM, all buildup and no payoff.
I haven’t had a lot of time to do much console gaming lately but I still would love to have a “go to” mobile game that I can whip out and progress a few levels or grind a few items or knock out a battle or match or two....
I've just rediscovered my childhood Gameboys, I grew up in the 90s and had an original, a color, an advance and an sp. My game collection has whittled down over the year to the usual suspects, Pokemons, Zelda's, Mario's and some other standards. But I want to dive into some games that 7 year old me would have brushed over. So...
Easily Dragon Warrior III. There was so much content and at the time there weren't abundant guides and spoilers, and to not spoil the next person I'll just say it's like Pokemon Gold and Silver in terms of content and surprises.
After a full week of trying to fix this and a few days of running with multiple patches, it seems as though there are still problems with federation. So I’m resorting to crowd sourcing: if you notice any problems interacting with other instances (voting, commenting, posting), or you’re from another one and can’t interact...
Hey guys, made an account here. I had originally setup an account on the FMHY instance but its been down for the past half a day or so. Anybody know what’s going on? Were they hacked or something? Or are they just doing some sort of server maintenance?...
It's federated so I was able to follow it on mastodon. No post about this current problem though. !voyagerapp has a post talking about not being able to access it, same with other apps.

The financial unsustainability of traditional, car-centric American suburbs, consisting mainly of single-family units, is a critical aspect of the problem of urban sprawl. The design of these suburbs necessitates constant expansion into undeveloped land. This is because the initial infrastructure costs, such as roads, utilities,...

Are lots of websites really going downhill and/or closing or does it just seem like it to me?
