Lemmy needs the option to block mirroring of content of NSFW instances seperate from the users participating in them. I need a second account now because my lemmynsfw is blocked from feddit.de for that. It is a bit of a clusterfuck.

Lemmy is a bit glitchy. Like how the upvote counts go crazy.

I think I mostly prefer desktop. I will check with the Android app.

Thank you for the information. Also I just found out lemmy.ml blocked my entire lemmynsfw instance, shutting me out of most of the content. I specifically did that to show support for sex positivity and not for porn. Seeing the fediverse in general tries to shut NSFW harder than big tech at times. The old, free tumblr was great.

It is a very large instance though with different communities. It is more of a technical slog though, barely works.

No, this is over blown. Whenever visited before the large influx, lemmygrad was so big it made clear who this was for. But not on the technical level. Now it just is a reddit alternative, which also has some questionable communities here and there to be dealt with.

Slap them with a real lawsuit, if they guess wrong.

With the federation I would be careful without someone measures. Not sure if IP addresses get shared between instances, but I heard the E-Mail would.

If you use an account with the intent of staying anonymous, at no point you may ever connect it to a traceable IP. There is a chance the access history gets IP logged and authorities will trace through all of them.

I hope they will fix NSFW content plopping up on the “All” feed. Currently feddit.de decided to ban my lemmynsfw instance, because they didn’t want the content mirrored on their sites and not flood the All frontpage. But it means I cannot interact with that instance for a technical flaw than bad policing.

I never thought YouTube’s business model was very sustainable. As the world economy goes down, so does the value of ads. Creators or consumers need to pay up for all the bandwidth and storage. The question is about what is a reasonable price. Are low tiers for $3/mo. possible along with premium 4k options or does everything need to be at more than that?

This is downright terrifying. A major escalation of the blackout and deleting your content - with the help of european law - is a nice response to that, if they do not step back. This is perhaps the most extreme measure to be taken, short of destroying the data center itself. An emptied reddit history is a massive loss of knowledge and perhaps questionably damaging for the outside world.

Fuck u/spez

Likely there is no way yet. Even the clean way to link back to your instance will throw an error, if the previous connection was not yet made.

It is so far a slightly different situation. First it gets revenue directly by the users instead of advertisers. This changes everything at a fundamental level.

Second, the type of community is much different. The communities using the full feature set are generally limited in scale one way or another. The issues with Facebook, Twitter and reddit arose also because there is a gigantic userbase which interacts with each other. Toxic policies are more likely to be forcefully accepted due to the massive social inertia.

Type of content hits differently. As a lot of communication is real time, or moment to moment, there is less lost value if things go haywire. Now this absolutely does not apply for servers which directly act as a forum replacement run by the companies themselves. Some use it as a website replacement for some reason which is also a terrible idea.

I think a future migration will be a lot more fluent and less hurtful overall. The moves away from TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, Skype were never impactful. With the monetization model I also view it as less probable.

Depends on SEO and ActivityPub. I could see a dystopian future where the Silicon Valley refuses to improve on this use case, to push monolithic social media forward, which would also be in the interest of authoritarian governments.

Every game discussion. Starting roughly 24h after a game’s release until decades later.

That communities, and unfortunately whole instances might turn to shit is more of a given. The big advantage is the switch would be a lot smoother. If reddit was a gargantuan instance, the loss would still be catastrophic, however the ecosystem would remain in tact. That is the user interface, the third party apps and so on. Right now everything is completely leveled and you need to start from scratch.

I would not agree with the general statement about FOSS. Some commercial products absolutely do edge out the free ones. And I am not sure it is only the limited funding, seeing the usability issues with Linux. I think Linus Tech Tips video series was a nice insight.

But for social platforms I do not even see a different way. FOSS is a must, especially with the inherent bias of algorithms. Commercial third party clients still could be beneficial.

It sounded here it did not work for some reason. I am using Firefox btw.
