hexbear (a leftist instance) was defederated recently. lemmygrad.ml is “under discussion”.

lemmy.ml has too many general users thesedays imo, it would be very major to block it.

Nah lemmy.ml is still federated. You can see it listed here https://lemmy.world/instances

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

It’s blocked from lemmy.world. I’d recommend using LASIM and migrating to another instance like https://lemm.ee/ (note: you will need to manually resubscribe to !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com on your new account, since LASIM won’t be able to see it).

That’s not a copy of the main piracy community, that’s another piracy community that’s hosted on lemmy.world

The community people are talking about is !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which is no longer accessible via lemmy.world

It appears !piracy@lemmy.ml is also blocked.

That’s basically what the entire philosophy of democratic socialism attempts to answer.

Yes, but it’s also associated with libertarian types who used to populate Reddit back in the day before it became mainstream.

Most of them seem to be moving to discuit, another centralised platform, Lol

ANY internet platform that proclaims itself as a guardian of free speech is either overun by racists, xenophobes and the like or, at the very least, holds a significant number of them. There’s a reason most 2000s internet platforms (e.g, Reddit) eventually dropped ‘Free Speech’ as a policy over time.

honestly reading this, it just sounds to me like he isn’t cut out for community management. It is stressful and hard sometimes, so I get it, but he’s going to kill his own site doing this. I did wonder about this before - it seemed like to me he regularly made changes based on feedback on a whim, and these changes were often rushed without much thinking. Needs to know when to pass the baton elsewhere and stick to development, but alas…

The last comments also speak to someone who’s probably hiding some contrarian views of his own.

Shame.

I’m really confused by this direction? The admin seemed… nice, and all of the users were “let’s all be friends and be postivive x!” type people. Not exactly the place for “free speech” dog wistle folks. He’s just going to alienate his entire userbase, I don’t understand the point.

Are you that averse to ads that devs can’t even promote their other work lol?

I don’t care. They can figure it out or ask, lol.

Block the individual bots. You’ll get rid of them in one go.

Block the bot

You get Google app store credit for doing very short surveys. I’ve bought a few things with it

Your problem is browsing Everything. There’s a lot of content on Lemmy that isn’t meta-posting - you just need to curate your own feed, like on Reddit.

Subscribe to some more casual places for a funner frontpage.

meh, it’s a bit shit if the original dev wants to make his own Lemmy app.

Obtainium has a setting just for issues like this.

Click on Infinity for Reddit in the app >click edit button bottom left > change Version Detection option to Use Release Date As Version

Worth noting it is not affiliated with the original dev. This guy forked it and took the name.

Yes
