if I can't read I won't have to learn about the horrors of the world
out of sight, out of mind 😊🙈
From what I could tell by reading the article and some posts on Disabled's social media, Privex was pressured by a business partner to kick him out, but they didn't bend the knee.
Honestly good on them for standing up for their principles.
"Moderation tools are nonexistent on here. It also eats up storage like crazy [...] The software is downright frustrating to work with" - Can any other instance admins relate to this?
After a year online the free speech-focused instance 'Burggit' is shutting down. Among other motivations, the admins point to grievances with the Lemmy software as one of the main reasons for shutting down the instance. In a first post asking about migrating to Sharkey, one of the admins states:
> This Lemmy instance is much harder to maintain due to the fact that I can’t tell what images get uploaded here, which means anyone can use this as a free image host for illegal shit, and the fact that there’s no user list that I can easily see. Moderation tools are nonexistent on here. It also eats up storage like crazy due to the fact that it rapidly caches images from scraped URLs and the few remaining instances that we still federate with. The software is downright frustrating to work with, and It feels less rewarding overall putting effort into this instance because it feels like we’re so isolated.
A few weeks later, in the post announcing that Burggit was shutting down, another admin says the same:
> The amount of hoops that burger has to go to in order to bring you this site is ridiculous. To give you an idea of how bad this software is, there’s no easy way to check all the images uploaded to the site (such as through private messages). When the obvious concern of potential illegal imagery is brought up to lemmy devs, they shrug and say to plug in an expensive AI image checker to scan for illegal imagery. That response genuinely has me thinking that this is by design, and they want it to be like this. We can’t even easily look at the list of registered users without looking through the DB, absolute insanity.
> The other thing is there’s no real way to manage storage properly in Lemmy, the storage caches every image ever uploaded to any instance forever.
> Also the software is constantly breaking.
They also say that Kbin has many of the same problems, so I'm just curious to know if the admins of bigger Lemmy & Kbin instances feel the same way about these software.
Which VPS provider is best for controversial content? I compare Privex, NiceVPS, BuyVM, Njalla, Flokinet, OrangeWebsite and 1984 Hosting to find out.
For those that couldn't be bothered to read the full article, their conclusion is:
> If you intend to host controversial, or user-generated content. Privex, BuyVM, Kyun and NiceVPS seem to be the best options available at the moment.
For some people (and especially the kinds of people who want to become cops) literally just making others suffer is entertainment. He was surrounded by others like him, so for them it was nothing but a "joke" and another day at the office. Cops are truly fucked in the head.
pwease don't be mad 😿
also no, I have no idea what "racist.rodeo" is I just saw this image on bae.st and thought it was funny
Wasn't Jesus supposed to be like, a pacifist? I also vaguely remember some bible verses talking about meekness and acting with kindness towards others, even your enemies.
But I guess that rhetoric doesn't fly with the "alpha male" crowd who's just itching for any excuse to shoot someone.
c-can I eat some of that cake? 😳👉👈
