We're federated with Hexbear again?
We're federated with Hexbear again?
Recently I was browsing some communities I typically hang out in and I started noticing Hexbear accounts being... well their typical selves.
Which made me check which account I was on because I've got a few, and when I noticed I was on my Blahaj account I had to check and it looks like we're federated again?
Why?
You're viewing a single thread.
Semi related daily reminder that blahaj defederated from lemmynsfw because they asked for the closure of /c/adorableporn claiming it was CSAM, and they refused 😐
I moved to iusearchlinux.fyi to be re-federated with everyone and honestly even the tankies, 99% of what reaches the front page is pretty bearable and you guys miss out on mostly good posts. I saw some guardian articles about palestine civilian deaths today for example and realized it was in the lemmygrad worldnews only when I scrolled past it a second time
For point #1 - good riddance. That kind of porn is super creepy regardless of whether or not it is true CSAM.
For point #2 - I might just be getting old, but I don't have time to wade through a "bearable" feed when I can get all the best posts through someone else's hard work. I am glad to have mods that reflect my approximate values and defederate where reasonable.
I will appreciate when people like you repost/link the rare piece of good content that I miss out on though. I welcome views counter to my own, if well thought out or sanely provocative, but sometimes you gotta filter out trolls and creeps.
I can say that I feel comfortable recommending my instance to people I meet IRL, and that counts for a lot with me.
It does make the site harder to navigate for new users and I wish the defederation had alternatives like an instance default blocklist.
defederation from some of the insane ones is good. I’m not a free speech absolutist by any stretch, but most of the communities on lemmy.ml ban any posts/comments that disagree with their worldview. They don’t even try to be a place for polite discussion.
Intolerance does not deserve tolerance.
I moved to iusearchlinux.fyi to be re-federated with everyone
Good. Everyone wins. Now let’s re-defederate PRONTO.
Just join a different instance
I did. I joined this one because it has federation policies that appeal to me. I assume this is just a technical glitch.
Oh right I read that wrong. Re-defederate. I thought you wanted no defederation at all 🤠
Me, omw to register iusearchlinuxtesting.fyi
