This part worries me. Do we know where the server was located? Any chance they were arrested for the site breaking some law? I hope they are okay, whatever happened.
Can somebody remind me about how this works again on the fediverse please? When a federated server goes down, does its content and comments - which presumably were circulated to other federated servers - still exist? Can you do something like a raid parity reconstruction?
The posts and comments can still be seen across the Fediverse. Images and videos are going to depend, your instance may have cached it, or maybe the post was to externally hosted media. In these cases the media will persist. However in the majority of cases the photos and videos were uploaded directly and will be lost.
The current way the fediverse exists is all the posts and users only really exist on the host domain. So if it goes down everything is effectively lost. It might exist briefly on some servers, but it takes manual intervention to save it, and it can't be re sent out to anyone.
It was more of an analogy to how we consume our media and why. The almighty Algorithm and no algorithm at all being two extremes, we're closer to the latter.
TBH, I would not be surprised if the moderators weren't properly vetting ages of the girls who appeared in many of the images. I understand the desire for an amateur porn network, but if the cost of that is enabling pedophilia and human trafficking then it can never be allowed.
I'll have you know that I'm the worlds foremost authority on what would or would not "surprise me". This is potentially the most substantiated claim I've ever made.

Ah fuck. That's where my alt was.
Do we have a reason?
Server went down, admin with system access hasn't been seen in months.

Couldn't you at least find some NSFW meme for this thread?
Sad day indeed.

For example: [NSFW, obviously] https://thelemmy.club/c/[email protected]?dataType=Post&sort=TopAll (your instance may be automatically translating that link)
It appears that nothing is wrong... Other than there's no new content.
Actually the lemmynsfw image servers appear to be up for now. So if anyone wants to archive do it now.

They provably have already implemented as much "manually intervention" as possible. More than that would become detrimental.
...you ask one simple question.
I wouldn't have known I blocked that shit. I don't give a fuck.
It quickly devolved into endless AI slop. Not particularly sad it is gone.
Only if you followed communities that allowed it...

I think the vast majority of fediverse users will sort by All or New primarily. If we wanted to live by the algorithm we would not be here.
Following your preferred communities only, is "living by the algorithm" now?
It was more of an analogy to how we consume our media and why. The almighty Algorithm and no algorithm at all being two extremes, we're closer to the latter.
Sort by all, block communities you don’t like. It’s your algorithm, not theirs.
"But if I don't make all communities bend to what I want, they're the bad guy!"
Every time I see a comment from you it is not a very well thought out one.
You have 1 post and 99 comments in 9 months, the fact that I'm being brigaded by such accounts must mean I'm doing something right.
I have multiple accounts. That's how fediverse works.
TBH, I would not be surprised if the moderators weren't properly vetting ages of the girls who appeared in many of the images. I understand the desire for an amateur porn network, but if the cost of that is enabling pedophilia and human trafficking then it can never be allowed.
do you have anything beyond wild speculation?
The Hot Influencers c does post some very questionable content.
Nope, just take his word. No need for evidence!
I've reported a few sketchy posts to authorities, if the mods are doing there jobs then nothing bad will come of it.
so no... you don't have anything more than wild speculation.
You want me to send you links to CP? jfc, dude.
skipping over the part where you, without any evidence, say it's the admins fault....
I'm sure the lack of proof is just a coincidence. Maybe someday Banjo will have some.
Moderators are not Admins, but my statement is that I would not be surprised if a specific circumstance were the case.
If you think it's absurd that unverified naked women have images of themselves on lemmynsfw, idk what to tell you.
Do I recall you firmly planted up CrabCake’s ass when they denied providing evidence to support the dumbassery when asked?
