Defederation because of harassment seems excessive, surely one can just mute a user? Not sure if I’d be comfortable with your defedation policy. It’s one thing to defederate from definitely-illegal-content like CSAM, it’s another thing to defederate because feelings were hurt.

Yeah, but if you were to advertise your instance, this is probably something I’d put as a selling point, rather than have some racist person sign up to your instance only to get banned a couple days later.
That’s a pretty common mindset amongst small instance runners I think, including the one I’m on. Only caveat, this instance doesn’t allow NSFW posting (viewing is fine), and has a pretty vague ban policy lmao
That’s not how federation works. You can still interact with lemmy.world and its users from another instance, but spreading out not only helps with lemmy.world’s load, but also the fediverse.
It’s actually really bad. With how big it is, it’s now the default for even new mobile applications, which means it will now only grow bigger. 5x is just the start. We are just seeing the start of the centralised decentralised Lemmyverse.
You don’t have to jump to tiny < 100 user instances though, any instance within the top 10 is a good alternative to lemmy.world. If everyone thinks the same as you do, then there would be no point in federation.
Y’know what, you’re right, but in an ideal federated world, it is probably for the best if people branch out further than just the top 10 as well. The instance I’m on probably is not even within the top 50, but it’s fast, performant, and has all my subscriptions. Not sure about the admins, but I also have alts on lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works in case this instance goes bust.
I know you are salty about how you are getting treated over at GitHub, but you should look at it objectively, Blaze is clearly advocating that people join top instances that’s not lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, not nobody instances that only have 1-2 users. They certainly aren’t going offline as quickly as they come online.
Sorry to tell you this, but you need to stop being overly obsessed over the Lemmy project. It is not healthy for you. Go do something better with your life. With the amount of enthusiasm you are showing, I bet you can find the cure for cancer.
The irony in you saying that, and posting second-hand recounts by other people. They aren’t closed. If they are closed, you wouldn’t even be able to submit a registration application.
No, it’s everything to do about your personal treatment, stop deceiving yourself. Just because you claim you have autism doesn’t immediately grant you the right to be entitled. You don’t get your way so you spam create multiple issues to call out the developers, and you expect people to believe it isn’t personal for you?
If you aren’t happy with the Lemmy developers, fork the project, run your own fork, convince others to use your fork. It’s a FOSS world, no one has to do what you say, even if you claim to be autistic.
Matrix is a better discussion platform than Lemmy, as one is messaging focused, and the other is a message board. Why are you against Matrix? There’s nothing to discuss on !postgresql because as far as that community is concerned, it’s dead.
You call me childish when you were the one that retaliated against the developers by creating rubbish issues? Ironic.
What’s with you and your obsession with China? From how much are accusing people of being pro-china, you sure love being on @lemmy.ml, the instance run by the developers.
If the cure to cancer were found, like a virus to prevent deaths from COVID-19, sites like Twitter and Lemmy would spread lies and disinformation and tell people to avoid authentic facts and science.
Maybe, maybe not. It’s up to the reader to differentiate between facts and tales. I don’t see how that is relevant.
Is it the pro-China stance of the developers that gives you blind faith in how their SQL TRIGGER code works or Rust logic?
No, I believe the project is in need of a lot of polish. However, the way you act, makes me hope the polish does not come from you.
I doubt your sincerity and think this is a social tactic you use, lies. Insincerity.
Okay.
The lies coming out of Elon Musk’s Twitter and the lies from Cambridge Analtica on Facebook make me ill. The constant people I meet in the USA who praise oil consumption and deny climate change science makes me sick. I didn’t stubble into Lemmy because I was healthy with crowds of people who flock to anything in “meme format” and praise authoritarian politicians and businessmen.
Have you considered turning off your computer, and looking out the window? Looks like the problems you are facing can be solved rather easily. There is neither Twitter nor Facebook out the window.
Entitled to what? free money? discount at the car wash? I see you like claiming things that I never said, who talked about deserving things or being entitled?
No, I never claimed that you said you were entitled. I claimed that you like using your autism as an excuse.
perhaps you do not grasp that autism impacts my writing and the level of pain I have in communicating, even this very comment. It causes me huge pain and suffering to have my brain touch the keyboard and compose English sentences.
See? Why make yourself suffer?
Maybe you lack compassion for my suffering and you are a bully.
Why do you deserve my compassion? You are literally hurting yourself by participating in discussions even when you claim, in your own words, “autism impacts my writing and the level of pain I have in communicating, even this very comment. It causes me huge pain and suffering to have my brain touch the keyboard and compose English sentences.”. If it hurts so much, get offline.
If you willingly hurt yourself, or your brain, conversing online, then you shouldn’t be using it as an excuse to get your point across. The advice was given, if it hurts, stop doing it, is that really that hard to explain?
a world where peace, love, and compassion are favored by people and people voluntarily support goodness.
If you were, you wouldn’t be trying to incite conflict by accusing everyone of being pro-China or pro-CCP, or going off on a rant on America’s social media companies.
It’s become clear that what bothers you so much, what you are trying to do is drive off conversation
Well, I’m nice, I don’t want to hurt your brain further by engaging in pointless conversation with you.
You care about the machines delivering your content. I actually care that people have self-awareness in the audience of the media they use. Not have blind faith that “fork it” actually is all that matters, and ignore teachers like Marshall McLuhan or Neil Postman who think it is important consumers of media are able to see how their own brain works instead of thinking “fork it” is all that matters, code.
How the flying spaghetti meatball monster fuck is this relevant to your rant over how you were getting sidelined on GitHub?
I think audiences could use a website like Wikipedia to do news, instead they favor websites like Reddiit, Twitter, Lemmy where the main focus is to sort by NEW and get FRESH “breaking news” without accuracy.
Okay, get off Lemmy then, why are you helping the Lemmy developers to the point of hurting your brain? You are nothing but full of contradictory statements. Nothing is keeping you here, if you don’t want to be here, leave. It is that simple.
No, why should I know who he is? How is he relevant to how Lemmy is run? How are my replies relevant to whatever Neil Postman wrote? Can you elaborate?
“Fork it”, “wtf”, you like simplistic answers to difficult problems. Clearly you would not spend hundreds of hours testing fLemmy and watching the developers before posting something like I did this past few days. It’s really sad to see your total faith and blind faith in action.
Well, your efforts clearly did not achieve your desired results, so forking the project, and starting your own Lemmy-alternative seems like the logical next step no?
I can see why you might have never read something from Neil Postman and responded as if it was off-topic to social media applications and their cultures.
Again, why do you keep bringing up American authors?
You are absolutely right, I think you being here is actually hurting you. You already have so much on your plate to deal with, I certainly don’t think it’s right that you have to shoulder through the pain your brain gets when you type. You should take care of yourself more, and not put yourself through more pain.
On the Internet, you can search. Instead, you go all “WTF” ranting.
You’re the one that brought it up, you can’t even be bothered to explain why?
No, it isn’t logical at all. People have set up Lemmy instances to 'fork" Reddit, and nobody comes. Why set up one more social media site nobody will use because audiences actually seek out what is popular. You seem to think code is all that matters, that quality actually attracts audiences. I suggest teachers like Neil Postman, they really spell this all out. The audience has to develop self-awareness of their compulsive media behaviors. Huxley was far more right than Orwell.
If your fork maintains the ActivityPub protocol, what’s the issue? Again you keep bringing up more authors without explaining your reasons for doing so. Do you lack the capability to think for yourself, so you have to idolize authors that have long since passed?
If you don’t like hearing people you disagree with talk about those things, you should be going to do something else rather than rudely trying to make them shut up. Even from the perspective that you just want to challenge this user about the appropriateness of how they are expressing their opinions and frustrations,
I have nothing against anyone who wants to bring up issues, but the way one brings up the issues should be taken into account. Anyone who tries to get their point across by spamming GitHub issues automatically loses points in my book.
Is this acceptable in your book? Are you defending this action? It certainly is not acceptable in mine, and the reason why I called the user out on it.
I understand if you take offense at the way I came across the user in question, but when they repeatedly bring up their pain as a response, it is only logical that I ask them to refrain from actions that cause them pain. It’s one thing to have to go through pain for basic life-sustaining tasks, like eating, drinking, or even physiotherapy, but if your brain hurts typing on a social media forum, which you repeatedly refuse to cease, then you have no sympathy from me. Lemmy, or even Reddit for that matter is not a basic living requirement.
you are going too far and behaving inappropriately yourself with all the personal attacks.
What personal attacks?
Just leave it alone and if they are saying things that you feel need to be addressed just report and move on.
Likewise, if you have an issue with what I said, go ahead, report and move on. If I broke any instance rules, I’m sure the responsible admins will be swift in delivering the appropriate response.
No, as opposed to moving a specialised instance, like how Android moves to lemdro.id. All of the centralisation lemmy.world and lemmy.ml is beginning to have an effect, and you guys are just at the starting line of finding out.
Decentralisation has nothing to do with blockchains. Hell, even BitTorrent was decentralised before the term blockchain even came to be.
Perhaps you should have taken the time to consider better alternatives before jumping. This looks like a hasty thought, jumping from the #2 to #1 Lemmy server, and it’s actions like these that definitely harm the Fediverse. Now the lemmy.world instance has to shoulder on even more burden. Thanks.
No, again, my suggestion is not to centralise anything.
If anything, I would have preferred if ps5!ps5 had moved to lemm.ee instead of lemmy.world. As it stands, lemmy.world is getting too big for a “federated” Lemmyverse, why should we continue to support federation on Lemmy, if lemmy.world becomes the new Reddit?

This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation? (i.imgflip.com)

Spread the Load! Join other Instances! (ls.buckodr.ink)
Yes I know they’re getting DDoSed, I’m just messing around
When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status
Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.
In light of lemmy.world's pre-emptive defederation of hexbear, would anyone support defederating lemmy.world?

Lemmy World is down once again.
Ugh.
Lemmy.world down, probably following the upgrade. A reminder to move to smaller instances for a better experience (lemmy-status.org)
Oh, it's up again.
