I mean, this beautifully shows that this comic explicitly doesn't apply to the fediverse. Since everything else continues to work. The fediverse as a whole remains unaffected.
They defend it now, one piece sub had a of girl post a cosplay, mod removed it because she had of links in profile, top post was them hating on the mod saying shes just an innocent fan who happens to have an of business lmao, I got the same hate getting a girls post removed on raves and she had posts asking about were to buy fetanyl before she started posting of posts to support her addiction.
They come in acting innocent, but they've turned themselves into a business, so even when they aren't actively advertising they are advertising, since they are walking advertisements for their of business and think like that when approaching things.
He was the admin of feddit.de. I think he went on a work trip to SE Asia and was never seen again. First technical problems troubled the instance until nobody paid for the server and domain anymore. Now the new feddit.org is governed by a non-profit with multiple admins.
It’s “absent without official leave”, meaning they don’t have permission from the chain of command to be absent from their post (which is literally just wherever they are supposed to be).
It’s not a matter of saying you’ll be gone and when you’ll be back, it’s a matter of having official permission to be away from your duties (aka leave). They won’t get you for it for being off-base in your free time, but if you are off-base on THEIR time, then you are AWOL. You can also be AWOL without actually going anywhere, like if you are sick and stay in bed without contacting your superior, or medical for a chit, very likely considered AWOL .
The sheer risk of running NSFW servers in this post-OSA timeline, I wouldn't be surprised if they just homer-simpson'd into the bushes, and waited for it to all be over.
It also might have been because of upvotes. Lemmynsfw hid them for users on their instance therefore posts there weren't up voted much unless other instance accounts did
Depens on sort type (Active/Hot/etc, which might even be affected by your instance, not sure if or how much, but at least with lemm.ee it was the same) ... and how much you scroll (and maybe if you have hiding read posts enabled).
Oh. For some reason, I was convinced I'd already checked and found that feddit.org had NOT blocked lemmynsfw. I just checked again and it has. Sh.itjust.works hasn't blocked it though. Huh?
there should be something in the lemmy admin interface that reminds ppl to have a co-admin or give someone who they know admin accounts, to keep their legacy alive when they go missing
Or maybe something stronger than that? Like not making it possible to federate unless there's at least two admins? Or having some automatic fallback when servers die, so that their communities don't die with them. Feels like a gamble otherwise, putting in the work of building a community when it's this fragile...
As an instance admin myself, I'm so confused... If you went through the effort of setting up an instance, the effort of transferring all the access and stuff to someone else would be nothing. Just seems super weird to disappear without a trace and without handing it over to someone else.
So, what happens when a lemmy server goes down ungracefully (so unlike lemm.ee that made a proper shutdown and closed most communities), the communities stay as a localized version on each server it had connected to, at least last I checked. You can post and will see posts from users on lemmy.world but no one on any other server can see your posts, because the community server was supposed to distribute them. So it becomes more like an archive.
It's also hosted behind cloud flare who will present cached pages if the source host is offline. So web visits still might show stuff until the cache expires.
Make sure you aren't set to only see recent posts, there are no posts in the last 6 hours for example, but all the historic posts are still there if you change to a different feed type.
My problem is I had a list of lemmit.online communities I had subbed to, which should still exist but you can’t sign up for them directly so you could never browse the full list. Now I’ll have to find all of those again.
Pretty sure any piefed instance that had previously federated with lemmynsfw communities can do this on the community browser. Piefed.social didn't, but others may have done
Wait my lewd account is on Lemmynsfw. Welp, I guess that's gone. Guess I have to make another one on a nsfw friemdly piefed instance. I really like piefed.
That was my 1st account... Not signed for porn, but I switched to lemmy in the first big migratory wave, and no other instance replied to my registration request. I even donated. Since then I have registered to many lemmy, but only this (reddthat.com) survived 😭
Real question - how does one host a Lemmy that accepts all sorts of content without having to keep constant tabs on it?
Like, if we did sprinkle nsfw content throughout dozens of Lemmy servers?
I'm asking this because I hosted a pixelfed server one time, allowed thousand users, and those abuse reports became hard on my soul. Some were pretty vanilla nsfw. But some required me to forward it to 3-letter agencies in the States. And while I'm not a fan of talking to the cops, I'm also not a fan of awful shit on my server.
It must be monitored. You need good mods and admins keeping things clean. There's gonna be instances where someone will upload something fucked and that risk comes with hosting such a service.
I know Cloudflare has a built in CSAM scanning tool that requires registration to enable, but other than that, you'll have to monitor your site.
Fuck! My first account was on lemmy.ee which passed away a few months ago. My second account was on lemmynsfw thinking the presence of porn would be a guarantee of its sustainability. It's like been banned twice from Reddit.
https://docs.lemmynsfw.com/ is still up but not updated in 2 years. That's hosted separately on GitHub Pages though, we just know the domain owner is the same
If you want to preserve lemmy content launch your own instance and cache it yourself. If you want to control your own communities, launch your own instance and host it yourself.
You cannot expect to atomize your world into billions of isolated individuals without losing something. We need community, individualism will only get you so far.
That just isn't how the fediverse works. It exists in the moment. If you want it to persist you need to back it up or figure out a plan. Just expecting someone to put up as server for you and leave it up forever is fantasy thinking. Doing it yourself can involve teaming up with people to launch instances or pay for service. The people who don't pay it forward and contribute are leeches, not community members.
Sorry, you're wrong and ironically you are the one who does not underatand how the fediverse works. Lemmynsfw is backed up by every server that federated with it (on a per-community basis). The issue isn't that it doesn't persist (because it does), but that the community and potential for new content from that space is now gone. In the future, please ensure you know what you are talking about before engaging in an argument.
"Good. I was too lazy to tick one box in settings while being lazy at work. Now I can be a lazy prude and put more time into this comment than it would have taken to fix the problem on my own without blasting on the internet that I'm negligent and incompetent."
Thing is, there are NSFW things that aren't porn. Seems like a decent amount of them on Lemmy. I shouldn't need to filter out all NSFW simply because there's a shotgun blast of new porn communities every month. I ended up just blocking every one I see, simply because that's not what I'm on Lemmy for.
Hey, good on you for trying to make your situation better. I hope you're doing it for the right reasons , instead of swallowing the bullshit that they peddle to control people (being concerned about masturbating too much/intrusive fantasies VS "not jerking off will get you babes and give you superpowers")
However, giving up on the NSFW stuff (some of which won't be lewd) is the price you have to pay. the NSFW thing is a social construct and courtesy , and is 95% lewd shit anyway, so you're not exactly missing out on much.
Don't make your porn addiction our problem. You can disable show NSFW or block instances and/or communities. You can also switch to an instance like programming.dev which hides pornographic communities by default. You have to manually subscribe to them to see them. Tons of things you can do instead.
You people are crying over NSFW being gone, which according to other people here is 95% porn, so please explain which one of us is actually addicted to porn?
Fucking troglodytes need to get your hands out of your pants
Your point of view here is always wrong. You ALWAYS protect access to the NSFW content regardless of your own frequency of use, because the nut jobs always come for it first, and you're not far after.
I mean, this beautifully shows that this comic explicitly doesn't apply to the fediverse. Since everything else continues to work. The fediverse as a whole remains unaffected.
Right? This is just about as wrong of a meme as you could possibly choose for this.
I promise I'll acquire some bucks to donate too 😇
I'm sorry everyone. It was me. I recently found out about lemmynsfw and may have overloaded the server.
Glad I'm not the one having to deal with your insatiable needs - especially now.
There were little elves no one soldier can take down our world like this.
Without porn, is a platform really a platform?
Tumblr has entered the chat.
Left the chat*
*Left the chat. This is an edit and not a footnote, therefore the * comes before and not after.
Reddit has entered the chat
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Its zombie has, anyway
they still have reddit, where people peddle thier OF profiles are part of thier businesses all the time, by using hordes of bots.
They defend it now, one piece sub had a of girl post a cosplay, mod removed it because she had of links in profile, top post was them hating on the mod saying shes just an innocent fan who happens to have an of business lmao, I got the same hate getting a girls post removed on raves and she had posts asking about were to buy fetanyl before she started posting of posts to support her addiction. They come in acting innocent, but they've turned themselves into a business, so even when they aren't actively advertising they are advertising, since they are walking advertisements for their of business and think like that when approaching things.
a significant number of us are permanently banned from reddit for whatever reason
New email account, a VPN or new IP, new cookies, they can't actually ban a person.
But screw reddit. People need to get off it.
We need a corp BS free, free speech, public platform.
True
Damn, what happened?
Admin that had access to the server went AWOL in October and now the server has died.
If I had a nickel for every Lemmy admin of a big instance who went missing I would have two nickels.
Which isnt a lot but its weird its happened twice.
What isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice
Admins going missing and their instance disappearing
Weird
twice
happened
it
What is the other admin that went MIA?
@[email protected]
He was the admin of feddit.de. I think he went on a work trip to SE Asia and was never seen again. First technical problems troubled the instance until nobody paid for the server and domain anymore. Now the new feddit.org is governed by a non-profit with multiple admins.
What means the Term "AWOL"?
Absent with-out leave
Edit:
Realizing I should add more 🙂 means they left without saying they were leaving or when they'd be back. Term is namely used in the military iirc
It’s “absent without official leave”, meaning they don’t have permission from the chain of command to be absent from their post (which is literally just wherever they are supposed to be).
It’s not a matter of saying you’ll be gone and when you’ll be back, it’s a matter of having official permission to be away from your duties (aka leave). They won’t get you for it for being off-base in your free time, but if you are off-base on THEIR time, then you are AWOL. You can also be AWOL without actually going anywhere, like if you are sick and stay in bed without contacting your superior, or medical for a chit, very likely considered AWOL .
Ey, that makes even more sense :) thanks!
AFKWOL
Absent Without Official Leave
I was assuming "AlWays OnLine"
This clears up some confusion
Next the domain name will be for sale for like $2500. lmao
Hexbear flashbacks
I did some rough math on this and that would be the least of the worries. The cost of hosting a nsfw instance would easily be $500-$1000 per month.
Which leaves me wondering if part of it going down was funding.
I didn't know this.
Damn, is there anyone who could get it back online?
From what I know, no unfortunately.
Hack the server
The sheer risk of running NSFW servers in this post-OSA timeline, I wouldn't be surprised if they just homer-simpson'd into the bushes, and waited for it to all be over.
Ohhh, that's what's different browsing All, I knew something was up. Rip.
What?! I don't think I've ever seen lemmynsfw posts on All.
How do you sort? I default sort "top 12 hours" and i usually get them by page 2 or 3
I sort by ”top day” and when I start seeing nudes I know it’s time for a break—usually takes at least an hour if not 2 or 3
It also might have been because of upvotes. Lemmynsfw hid them for users on their instance therefore posts there weren't up voted much unless other instance accounts did
I sort "Active" (Voyager app) whatever that means. Infinite scrolling. Admitedly I don't scroll very far down.
Nsfw typically arent receiving a lot of comments. Wont show in "active" usually.
Depens on sort type (Active/Hot/etc, which might even be affected by your instance, not sure if or how much, but at least with lemm.ee it was the same) ... and how much you scroll (and maybe if you have hiding read posts enabled).
Me neither.
Oh. For some reason, I was convinced I'd already checked and found that feddit.org had NOT blocked lemmynsfw. I just checked again and it has. Sh.itjust.works hasn't blocked it though. Huh?
I usually find them when sorting by new and all, mostly because of those bots that spam reddit nsfw reposts on several comms per post
Tell me this is a joke, tell this is a lie! Tell meeeeeee!!!! Noooo!!!!!
Well what am I supposed to do with my erection now?
stick it to the man? 🤭
Surely your username can clue you in~
Sad day for the platform
Piefed.nsfw hosted in Finland when?
Someone show me how... And buy me a decent computer to host it.
feddit.de all over 💀
Nooooo, don't say its name!
Another admin lost to North Korea
My thought as well :(
there should be something in the lemmy admin interface that reminds ppl to have a co-admin or give someone who they know admin accounts, to keep their legacy alive when they go missing
Or maybe something stronger than that? Like not making it possible to federate unless there's at least two admins? Or having some automatic fallback when servers die, so that their communities don't die with them. Feels like a gamble otherwise, putting in the work of building a community when it's this fragile...
What??? In the Valentines day? I fucking liked Lemmy nsfw
Dicks out, boys.
The only one I pull my dick out for is harambe.
Don't you dare not capitalize the late great Harambe's name #neverforget
👈🍆 🍆 👉
Can I use my clit or do I have to find a dude?
So now comes the big question. With it gone, are there any other replacement instances to…. fill that niche?
For hentai, you probably can still use ani.social.
hentai-foundry.com
What's that ?
What if I grew up and don't want porn cartoons?
Edit: If Lemmy NSFW going offline made you think of missing out on nudie cartoons... maybe take a hot shower, come upstairs, and go outside.
Growing up means appreciating art.
Which must obviously include team rocket sodomizing each other! I'm undone!
If you're looking at porn of children's cartoons, then that's entirely your fault.
Seems like you never grew out of the "shit on others for harmless interests" phase, so you shouldn't seek out adult content until you're 18.
Cold shower might be more appropriate, eh?
Yeah that's true.
You sound like a MAGA person.
You sound like a basement person. Easy block.
That's something a MAGA person would definitely say. That was easy.
You've done me & everyone else here a favour.
It's a Valentine's day tragedy.
I don't know where to share my tits now :(
My inbox
Username checks out
Not gonna lie, I immediately checked your post history... and I'm not disappointed. That's some quality content friend
Nice tits anyway
Hey.
With us, your dear friends of course.
As an instance admin myself, I'm so confused... If you went through the effort of setting up an instance, the effort of transferring all the access and stuff to someone else would be nothing. Just seems super weird to disappear without a trace and without handing it over to someone else.
They could be dead. Or imprisoned. Or just not interested anymore.
I mean there's a high chance it also got ransomwared.
What happend? I can still see some posts on them?
So, what happens when a lemmy server goes down ungracefully (so unlike lemm.ee that made a proper shutdown and closed most communities), the communities stay as a localized version on each server it had connected to, at least last I checked. You can post and will see posts from users on lemmy.world but no one on any other server can see your posts, because the community server was supposed to distribute them. So it becomes more like an archive.
It's also hosted behind cloud flare who will present cached pages if the source host is offline. So web visits still might show stuff until the cache expires.
Try https://lemmynsfw.com/
Ethically spanking it just got more difficult. I want to jerk it to those who want to share
Oh, with that instance federated browsing lemmy felt like good old times browsing reddit before they banned porn from /all.
This is really a sad thing.
You should still be able to see the content from your instances. For example: [NSFW] ![email protected]
It appears the image server is still running. The main admin is AWOL so if anyone wants to archive the content do it now.
I don't know how long a NSFW server can or should stay running without an admin though
Never.
I help mod a buddy's homebrew uncensored AI chatbots. Can't look away for five minutes or else someone tries to make something despicable.
Make sure you aren't set to only see recent posts, there are no posts in the last 6 hours for example, but all the historic posts are still there if you change to a different feed type.
Oh, right, oops.
That link works on my end. I clicked it for... research purposes.
BADONGADONGS!
Gongabazongodongoloogs!
Rub one out for our homie.
Dangit I have to go hunting for the comms all over again!
My problem is I had a list of lemmit.online communities I had subbed to, which should still exist but you can’t sign up for them directly so you could never browse the full list. Now I’ll have to find all of those again.
Pretty sure any piefed instance that had previously federated with lemmynsfw communities can do this on the community browser. Piefed.social didn't, but others may have done
Wait my lewd account is on Lemmynsfw. Welp, I guess that's gone. Guess I have to make another one on a nsfw friemdly piefed instance. I really like piefed.
(unzips) Well, time to start posting nudes everywhere. Just doing my part...
Just make sure you have your consent.
Good bot
s/t/y
Where will I see cute butts now?
https://lemmy.world/c/beebutts
SFW. Actual bees.
[email protected] instance-clickable link
As someone who hunts said butts, can confirm!
See? Centralization is a bad idea.
Oh so that's what happened. Damn, It was one of the servers with ZERO political brainrot to go & just unwind.
As for the admin issues, I saw some interesting points raised in the comments, wondering if Piefed will learn from it ?
Oh? What happened?
Edit: ah. As an average feddit enjoyer, I'm having flashbacks.
Its server went down
The admin has not been seen for a while; something has probably happened to them
Still waiting
Who am I gonna pretend to fuhhh... er ... make love to now?!? Valentine's Day is RUINED!!!
That was my 1st account... Not signed for porn, but I switched to lemmy in the first big migratory wave, and no other instance replied to my registration request. I even donated. Since then I have registered to many lemmy, but only this (reddthat.com) survived 😭
You know what they say, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
I've got all my nuts in one sack though.
Fix it with stitches!

Pay your respects wankers!
Pay your respect wanks!
I’ll pay my respect in wanks.
FUCK SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO IT
You'll just have to use your imaginations now
Fuck! My first account was on lemmy.ee which passed away a few months ago. My second account was on lemmynsfw thinking the presence of porn would be a guarantee of its sustainability. It's like been banned twice from Reddit.
Shit. Fuck.
Well, no, not anymore...
I liked leaving non sexual comments in the NSFW content. Like I would comment on the room decor.
That meme about the cabinets behind the girl with the milk, that was your fault? :D
Wait, what happened?
Internet culture moves fast, but the memories people build in certain spaces tend to last much longer.
https://docs.lemmynsfw.com/ is still up but not updated in 2 years. That's hosted separately on GitHub Pages though, we just know the domain owner is the same
fedinsfw.app is a thing, and trying to grow back what lemmynsfw was !
Honestly there wasn't that much anyway. Most good stuff is still on Reddit anyways
Is there porn on Lemmy too? I thought it was a reddit thing but I guess it is an internet thing.
Its a human thing. If it exists there is porn on and/or of it.
Rule 34. And cemented by Rule 35.
It's called Rule 34 for a reason
Oh my sweet summer child...
good way to meet women promoting their onlyfans
They all will totally fuck you, but they need you to sign up for their OF first!
I thought this place was supposed to be better than reddit
Agreed, rip bozo for the instance deticated exclusively to nsfw. There are a million sites for that and quite frankly I don't think lemmy needs it.
Who cares 🤷♀️
If you want to preserve lemmy content launch your own instance and cache it yourself. If you want to control your own communities, launch your own instance and host it yourself.
You cannot expect to atomize your world into billions of isolated individuals without losing something. We need community, individualism will only get you so far.
That just isn't how the fediverse works. It exists in the moment. If you want it to persist you need to back it up or figure out a plan. Just expecting someone to put up as server for you and leave it up forever is fantasy thinking. Doing it yourself can involve teaming up with people to launch instances or pay for service. The people who don't pay it forward and contribute are leeches, not community members.
Sorry, you're wrong and ironically you are the one who does not underatand how the fediverse works. Lemmynsfw is backed up by every server that federated with it (on a per-community basis). The issue isn't that it doesn't persist (because it does), but that the community and potential for new content from that space is now gone. In the future, please ensure you know what you are talking about before engaging in an argument.
Perhaps you should have chosen your words more carefully then. You are now describing why my point is correct.
I wrote this while I was taking a shit
lmao touche
"Good. I was too lazy to tick one box in settings while being lazy at work. Now I can be a lazy prude and put more time into this comment than it would have taken to fix the problem on my own without blasting on the internet that I'm negligent and incompetent."
I fixed your comment, no worries.
It takes as much effort as that comment did.
It definitely would've taken less effort than both of those combined would've.
If you genuinely want to lessen your consumption of porn, disabling NSFW is the best way to do it.
you do know, that there is a "Show NSFW content" setting in your account?
Did I not configure my options right? No, it is the software that is wrong.
Thing is, there are NSFW things that aren't porn. Seems like a decent amount of them on Lemmy. I shouldn't need to filter out all NSFW simply because there's a shotgun blast of new porn communities every month. I ended up just blocking every one I see, simply because that's not what I'm on Lemmy for.
Truth be told, I won't miss it.
Is this psythik's alt or another fool?
Dude I'm actively seeking to limit my usage of porn, respectfully go fuck yourself. I won't miss regularly seeing Lemmy porn.
Edit: ITT lotta people who are very sensitive about their porn going away.
Hey, good on you for trying to make your situation better. I hope you're doing it for the right reasons , instead of swallowing the bullshit that they peddle to control people (being concerned about masturbating too much/intrusive fantasies VS "not jerking off will get you babes and give you superpowers")
However, giving up on the NSFW stuff (some of which won't be lewd) is the price you have to pay. the NSFW thing is a social construct and courtesy , and is 95% lewd shit anyway, so you're not exactly missing out on much.
We're talking about the person who refused to untick Show NSFW.
Don't make your porn addiction our problem. You can disable show NSFW or block instances and/or communities. You can also switch to an instance like programming.dev which hides pornographic communities by default. You have to manually subscribe to them to see them. Tons of things you can do instead.
My porn addiction?
You people are crying over NSFW being gone, which according to other people here is 95% porn, so please explain which one of us is actually addicted to porn?
Fucking troglodytes need to get your hands out of your pants
You can block instances instead of whining about them.
Yes I LOVE whack-a-mole, on my media feed. GOD it's so fun.
All I see is crying
Conservatives love to demand everyone else censor themselves for the comfort of conservatives.
You don't want an instance in your feed, you can block it.
'Doesn't agree with me? CONSERVATIVE'
Get fucked, keep your hand out of your pants.
Edit: unless LemmyNSFW going down was actually the result of censorship, at which point imma need you to point to the dots I need to connect.
Probably would've taken you less time than writing up this post tbh
Your point of view here is always wrong. You ALWAYS protect access to the NSFW content regardless of your own frequency of use, because the nut jobs always come for it first, and you're not far after.
