Completely unrelated to the topic but isn’t it strange how vanilla has somehow become a negative? Vanilla ice cream being the default is because pretty much everyone enjoys vanilla. It’s a fantastic (albeit now very common) flavour.
High quality vanilla ice cream is easily the best. I’m talking, no eggs, very dense, no carrageenan or other crap like that, and actual vanilla bean. The stuff that tastes like tea and flowers and vanilla. It’s amazing. Also expensive, but it’s a treat I only get every few months.
I highly suggest trying to find an ice cream like this around if you even can.
Huh - a data network that routes traffic around missing or blocked nodes. That sounds like an advanced project from some kind of Defense agency. Someone should patent it - an Interconnected Network; I’ll bet it would be super popular. I wonder what they’d call it.
Heard about it. That’s a shame. There’s really nothing illegal there. Admins of my instance make a community voting before defederating.
I think I read somewhere that’s it’s possible to migrate your account to another instance. The idea of Lemmy is that we’re not at the mercy of someone’s whims.
It is not possible currently to migrate an account. There are tools that let you migrate eg. Your list of subscribed communities, but your posts and comments can’t go with you.
I guess I can understand their reasoning somewhat as the way Lemmy servers fetches data from the fediverse can become a liability, but I’m disappointed about the process and communication.
That said, I tried switching to some of the lesser restricted instances today, but I just don’t think I can be bothered to spend enough time blocking all the $hit there, so I’ll probably stay here still.
That looks nice, I’ll run it on a few accounts anyways, nice to have backups available without having to start from scratch.
However, Lemmy.World was already defederated from a few instances and from the looks of it I would have to do add a huge amount of new blocks to stay sane on a completely unfiltered instance.
Yeah I’ve only used it for backing up to alts. Maybe make another acct on an instance with a similar defed list? Or does your app support filtering instances outright?
Unfortunately the latter instance was recently defederated by lemmy.world
Yea … lemmy.world is probably not the “everything” instance some people were hoping … but more the “vanilla” instance (which also has a place IMO).
Vanilla instance for vanilla people.
Edit: LMAO I’m on .world too folks (⁀ᗢ⁀)

Not the entire instance, they only blocked the piracy community.
Community*
Instance is still federated.
Yet another reason to spread out and not centralize on lemmy.world.
I haven’t used lemmy.world in a few weeks as it’s always down when I want to use it. Went back to my standby.
It is a shame that once you’ve signed up for a community you’re not allowed to make a user account on any other instance.
Yeah. And it’s a shame when they “ban” something, there aren’t like hundreds of different instances that can still easily access that content.
Some smart people should really come up with a decentralized federated system so these “bans” become total non-issues.
Ah well, one can dream.

The instance wasn’t defedared, but the piracy community was blocked.
Why?
Wait where was this announced?
It wasn’t initially announced. Later they made a statement via discord 🙄
It’s only piracy communities they banned though. Not entire instances.

There are tools such as LASIM for transferring your subscriptions and blocks to another account.
