What do you guys think about this? (Wasn't sure which community to post this in)

Did the admins poll the community about it? Why was such measure so needed? If the tankie content is so annoying why not let users decide what they want to see or not and what they want to block?

I don't like that the admins want to censor the content I can view or not. You guys are not protecting us nor doing us a favor, you're imposing your views over everyone else by limiting the information we are able to receive.

I don't support the devs views or the views in lemmygrad, but this is a dangerous precedent.

I've read several of the "arguments" for blocking the instance and all I can see is a bunch of people talking about politics and arguing about "floods in the frontpage". Well, let the user block communities if that's the case, same way I'm already blocking communities I'm not interested.

I think the admins want to feel like Facebook moderation. I'd be OK with it if any instance repeatedly generated spam, security, doxxing or any other concern that couldn't be solved by banning individuals, otherwise it's just plain censorship.

I just don't want the admins to use their power to decide what I can see or not. If this is going to be like this, I'll leave for a better instance because I can see where this is going to.

Hello, I am thinking of running a new instance for LatAm users and topics, and I see from the Lemmy documentation that "country and hosting must be chosen carefully to avoid issues, takedowns, loss of data" (roughly paraphrasing)

Looking for advice from you guys on the best hostings out there and best practices to avoid legal or hosting issues.

Do domain providers matter?

I don't know if this the right place for it, but I plan on creating a Lemmy instance, though my technical or development skills are not the best, I have some experience with website administration (simple stuff like WordPress).

Is this the best /c/ to gather advice for it? Is it something worth at all being that I'm not an expert on this stuff? If you can refer me to other communities or resources on instance setup I'd appreciate! It's a fun project and I want to contribute to the fediverse.
