I know that the url part is fucked. I did it fast and I knew what would happen as I coded it. I 100% know it sucks ass lol. It is what it is until I get help or time to fix it.
It's a buggy thing lol. I made it very fast. I am very busy nowadays. I can't bother to edit it much. I would appreciate PRs. My github is lemmygod. If you have any knowhow, any help is extremely welcome in these days of dayjob exhaustion. :)
Explain. Like basically order by who has defederated the most and stuff like that? I did wanna add how many users are blocked by each instance and by how many users they are blocked but I forgot and am too busy to even edit the code anymore. Just worked 12 hours today and I'm still so far from completion.
Way to completely misread I guess. Bigots are defederating, cops are defederating, pedestrians are defederating, ants are defederating. Everyone and their mom is shunning and getting shunned except like a tiny couple kinda major instances and some of the smaller one that just don't care and don't cause any waves. Some of it is ideological. Some of it is personal. Some of it is prejudice. Some of it is about URLs or simple disagreements.
Sadly I didn't read your message on time. I was as absent as the real God, which makes sense since I am real and I am God. :) I promise to continue missing almost every prayer!
It has already started :) I'd say around 60% of major instances block exploding-heads, burggit and/or lemmygrad. Lemmygrad and EH in turn defederate a shitton of instances as well due to ideological reasons. Most "civility" or "law" related instances block piracy instances. The dbzer0 piracy instance blocks anything seen as too right-wingy cuz the owner is an anarchocommunist or something. LGBT instances are blocking & promoting for other instances to block instances that aren't too friendly to LGBT or are simply not moderating or even promoting homophobia & related topics. I actually made a tool called federation-checker.vercel.app/ that checks where an instance stands in the federation "war", so I know what instances to register onto if I wanna see some content that has been blocked by the instances I'm on.
when u crosspost, give it a meaningful title, otherwise ppl will have a hard time even knowing what it's about and you'll get fewer clicks and interactions, which defeats the purpose of seeking more visibility :)
It's the legendary MacGuffin. It is an abstract concept of that which is far away and you must get, and it is, by definition, impossible to talk much in specifics about it, only in general terms. It is quite a powerful thing even if it has no physical shape. It is, however, similar to Schrödinger's cat, since as you approach the point when you can see it, it stops being what it is, and it starts being something else as its form, position and nature collapse into a physical state, its nature permanently changed, and its enormity reduced into a single point of excited disappointment as the story ends.
I thought it didn’t matter where you make a account so much cause you can see the other instances.
Half true. MOST as in, all but lemmygrad, are shown here. But yeah any instance can block any other instance and you're left out, means they won't share posts & communities with each other.
I’m not a tankie so didn’t make my account at lemmygrad, but I still had planned to visit their communities.
You can do it. Just go to lemmygrad.ml. It's open access and free to view. You can even open an account and talk with them (warning: they will ban you if they disagree with you).
Wait, the instance you sign up on can block you from seeing whole other instances?
Yup. Go to any instance.url/instances (here it's https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/instances) and you can see what instances they federate with and which they block. You'll notice even here lemmygrad is blocked x). It is banned on any "respectable" instance because honestly they're morons but yes, what you say is true.
You can see what the lemmygrad community thinks about this topic here: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/706060. They are aware that most instances have blocked theirs, are planning on moving to lemmy.ml and are all like "ohhh free speech" (when they would host a public central square book burning party to destroy anything that disagrees with communism)
I especially love the last one because it's all like
"well, we used to censor them because that was good, they "poison public discourse", but now they censor us, but that's because we're better at debates than them" lmao 🤥🤡
Their thoughts
(comment#445674)> They call it “trolling” or “human rights abuse denial” if you disagree with the american narrative. (referring to the fact that they support Russian invasion, deny a few genocides here and there including the Uyghur one and other related topics)
(comment#444777)> My conjecture based on disagreements I’ve had with them, their goal is to draw in libs so that the marxists actually have people to educate. Without them it kinda became an echo chamber.

(comment#447092 )> Look on the bright side: for most of the history of the Internet socialist states had to block out the flood of lib content to keep it from poisoning public discourse.
Now the tide is turning, and liberals are blocking communists out. On the English-speaking internet we’re still a minority, but they’re scared that if they let us freely compete in their marketplace of ideas, we’d be punching well above our size. Truth is a powerful ally, and their suppression of it is failing.
I-I'm Oda?
If you look at the main dev's profile pictures, they are pictures of Fidel Castro as a young man. They are one of the only new big instances that hasn't blocked lemmygrad.ml, which is basically a tankie pro-CCP pro-Russian-invasion instance, and it is rumored that they mod them with their alts, and that lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are hosted on the same IP address. Lemmy.ml being the biggest or one of the biggest instances, and also the main developers being the leaders of that side, it makes sense to worry a bit.
But as others have said, just don't give them money, sign up elsewhere and you're good.
If 4chan sets one you can be sure they'll ban a random thing per week like "no 'the' this week, that is a slur"
Musicbee on desktop, Musicolet on Android. The latter is honestly amazing feature-wise, lots of cool ways to browse my library.
What is Oda?
Amazing! Truly a work of art made into fact. Never seen a better decision. Now everyone can be harassed in peace. 🎊 Best tolerance advocate elon musk
I see the site https://fmhy.pages.dev/ still has a link to the subreddit without a disclaimer
