Fediverse

I feel like I might be put on a FBI list for reading this.

I’m genuinely disappointed that Asbestos Cafe is basically forbidden now. That’d be a solid name for a hardcore alcoholic vegan bar.

Jfc right? What possessed someone to make some of those?

I was curious what freak.university was but it just leads to a 404 :/

Needs to be much higher...

Wait till you visit nazi.social

"Any community that gets its kicks pretending to be idiots, will eventually be overtaken by actual idiots who believe they are in good company."

it's a big pedo instance iirc

Didn't see that one. The one that caught my eye and made me double take was

rapefemenists.social

And it's above Threads.net. Talk about priorities lol

Anything illegal posted on a remote server will bring legal trouble to you as a server admin the moment it federates onto your instance. Therefore I completely understand them defederating from instances with a high risk of illegal activity.

At least on Lemmy, defederating is also a way of banning all the instance's users from your communities. If you're constantly banning one instance's users and their admins seem fine with it, there's really no other way.

Because in order to block content, the user first has to see it. If I were an instance admin, I wouldn't force my users to see any amount of N words and homophobic slurs, not even the once it takes to block it.

If you want to see far-right content and spam, join a far-right server or run your own, rather than trying to shame server owners into doing what you want.

Admins are entitled to decide what they platform and what they don't. On top of that, the user experience of "just block 100 servers of Nazis and incels to get to the content you want to see" is complete dogshit.

This "it should all be user level" is just apologist bullshit.

Run your own instance then

hexbear isn't even malicious. hexbear is spicy at best. not nearly as bad as lemmygrad, which is outright repugnant in its overt hostility. hexbear users are at least CAPABLE of communicating, whereas in my experience lemmygrad users pull the animal farm squealer move and defecate on the floor before storming out.

Really basic summary

Federated means that instances are connected, i.e. lemmy.world accounts and posts can interact with sh.itjust.works ones.

Defederated means that one of the instances is blocked by the other, so all communication between the two is blacklisted.

Their top stickied post seems to be a biography of a 19th century French anarchist. That's about as 10/10 wholesome chungus as it gets.

Past that, the front page is mostly full of screenshots of other social media posts mixed in with the occasional news item.

This guy is asking for help meeting people because he's an introvert.

This is a meme about the Roman Empire being a vector for olive trees.

Like, this isn't a difficult challenge.

Some mobile clients open the thumbnail version of images. If you instruct your client to open the image in a browser, you'll see that the url has thumbnail instructions appended to the end and those can be trimmed off of the end to show the full image.
