If you take away what the people want

You’re gonna have a bad time. ⛷️

But…

{gestures at OP’s comment}

Why would I vote for someone that thinks my country is a hellhole? He thinks our (and his) country is so bad that the country goes to shit with less than one presidential term following his own? That sounds to me like either he’s the one who did a shit job before or everything he says is bullshit - likely both.

This is my main instance. Been solid for weeks since I signed up. I’m using my first from .one now. Not sure where to go for Q&A. Is there a Discord, Mastodon, Gangnam Style’s comment section on YouTube I can goto??

Yeah, this is the strange part for me. Pyarra was a very transparent, active admin. I’m sure all he had to do was shut it down, make one post a direct message to admins and one of the other mainstreams would’ve picked it up - hell I would’ve migrated it to my setup in NY if no one else would answer the call.

My point is - say anything, we’re all here to help.

Looks like this was setup by @[email protected] - good stuff!

Wait people have an issue with screening? Mine took less than 24 hours, but I’d wait a week. I don’t know how in the world mods and admins have the time to do this stuff but god bless ‘em.

Also, some instances like my own have disabled downvoting. I didn’t know that was a thing when I signed up, but I really enjoy .one so far. That being said I think disabling downvotes is killing the self moderation to the extent that it alters the expected flow of this type of curation platform and, most importantly, places excess loads on the mods.

Screening, let the users do their thing, mods step in when shit hits the fan. In that order.

Thanks to all you admins and mods for what you do, keeping the world moving for us internet junkies.

That’s some sod looking gras

FTFY

Structured AF

Oh that’s from him?? Then yeah that’s what this seems like. But that’s exactly what I would do if illegal and risky shit ended up on my server. But I would post to another instance, Mastodon, or something to let users know what’s going on.

(feel bad I forgot his name and obviously can’t check now, he appears to be a great admin)

Went with lemmy.one because it felt really snappy while navigating communities. I was torn between .world and .one but then I saw that beehaw de-federated from .world which I didn’t like because beehaw has some of the more popular and active subs.

Yes I believe that’s him. Yeah, he might be in cold sweat mode. I’ve been there, but not with legal issues just down servers. It sounded like he “was spoken to” by someone about the local laws. That’s gotta suck.

So there’s a couple of thoughts here, and I’ve only experimented a little bit.

You can post directly from your Mastodon account to a community by calling out the community by its address like @[email protected] in your post (toot) (don’t think anything will happen by me using it here). You’ll see the Mastodon post as a community style post in the community like this: https://lemmy.world/post/1222638

You can my click my mas.to profile and see some things in the Lemmy context - not my verified links, but things like my profile picture and background, bio, Cake day, sending me a message.

I don’t know how to interact with Mastodon users viaa Lemmy or Kbin. Like above if I reference my Mastodon user @[email protected] I don’t believe anything happens.

So OP’s only options are posting a snapshot or, my choice, he can add the Mastodon post link to his Lemmy community post (in the header not the body) and have the same results as any other web link - the Mastodon media would get a thumbnail in the community post listing, with maybe some relevant content preview, etc. While that will deliver a superior viewing experience, that’s not actually communicating with ActivityPub through the Fediverse, it’s simply a web link to the Mastodon instance server’s user’s post.

Edit: Okay, so it looks like mentioning my mas.to handle does indeed alert me (almost instantly in this case), that’s cool!

Well, that would be shitty.

Not gonna go there at this point though. Like I said, he was a good admin up to this point. Just scary there’s complete radio silence. Like, what the heck happened lol.

I really liked that instance. I like my .one instance. But I don’t mind re-subbing etc. I just want access to the fediverse and prefer solid, but smaller instances, with blocking as a last resort. I’ll be the first to say, I want my downvote button, I’m the type of user that likes to see and compare karma, but none of that matters to the point where all is lost if I have to setup a new user. I’m also the type of user that formats my hard drive once a year to start fresh lol.

Yeah, saw this one. Could be many reasons it’s parked. Could’ve been doing maintenance, migration, missed a renewal, etc. Doesn’t mean it’s gone. Any DNS updates may be subject to TTLs as long as an hour or more (not usually but you never know), and that’s from whenever the update to DNS has been committed by the name servers, and then actually begins to propagate to other servers.

Oh this is rad! Good bot!

I have to disagree, as I’ve seen posts get an initial few downvotes well into negative playing field and come back after the rest of the community has had a read. We’ve all seen the back up comments to a post like that “not sure why you’re getting downvoted…”

Out of nowhere the instance went down. I believe it was late Saturday morning or so? It was my main instance and nobody has heard from the admin. He was always very enthusiastic and transparent, actively looking for more admins.

A day or so before it went down, he made a post about having to defederate with another instance due to current violation laws in his server’s country of origin. VLemmy is known for not banning many (if any) instances in favor of moderation, so they take defederation very seriously.

It looks like he got caught up with some bad content and had to shutdown. Not sure how long but all his tip and donation links have been closed including I believe his GitHub.

Doesn’t Google already allow this?
