Why would I vote for someone that thinks my country is a hellhole? He thinks our (and his) country is so bad that the country goes to shit with less than one presidential term following his own? That sounds to me like either he’s the one who did a shit job before or everything he says is bullshit - likely both.

Structured AF

The mail server records of a domain name do not usually point to the same server as other services like Lemmy.

That would be a fair statement

Out of nowhere the instance went down. I believe it was late Saturday morning or so? It was my main instance and nobody has heard from the admin. He was always very enthusiastic and transparent, actively looking for more admins.

A day or so before it went down, he made a post about having to defederate with another instance due to current violation laws in his server’s country of origin. VLemmy is known for not banning many (if any) instances in favor of moderation, so they take defederation very seriously.

It looks like he got caught up with some bad content and had to shutdown. Not sure how long but all his tip and donation links have been closed including I believe his GitHub.

Instance name checks out

Now let’s see if this goes the way VLemmy did this weekend.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing. There was this great bot that was autocorrecting community links and I was hoping this was possible for post-links on Lemmy instances.

Is there a way to link posts in the context of the reader’s instance? Like with !c community links?

Yeah, who knows how good those admin tools are. Maybe he can nuke all content posted to and from certain instances at once?

Yes I believe that’s him. Yeah, he might be in cold sweat mode. I’ve been there, but not with legal issues just down servers. It sounded like he “was spoken to” by someone about the local laws. That’s gotta suck.

Oh that’s from him?? Then yeah that’s what this seems like. But that’s exactly what I would do if illegal and risky shit ended up on my server. But I would post to another instance, Mastodon, or something to let users know what’s going on.

(feel bad I forgot his name and obviously can’t check now, he appears to be a great admin)

This is my main instance. Been solid for weeks since I signed up. I’m using my first from .one now. Not sure where to go for Q&A. Is there a Discord, Mastodon, Gangnam Style’s comment section on YouTube I can goto??

Dam, dude. This is awesome, thank you.

That’s some sod looking gras

FTFY

Wait people have an issue with screening? Mine took less than 24 hours, but I’d wait a week. I don’t know how in the world mods and admins have the time to do this stuff but god bless ‘em.

Also, some instances like my own have disabled downvoting. I didn’t know that was a thing when I signed up, but I really enjoy .one so far. That being said I think disabling downvotes is killing the self moderation to the extent that it alters the expected flow of this type of curation platform and, most importantly, places excess loads on the mods.

Screening, let the users do their thing, mods step in when shit hits the fan. In that order.

Thanks to all you admins and mods for what you do, keeping the world moving for us internet junkies.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you take away what the people want

You’re gonna have a bad time. ⛷️

Lol, interesting! So I guess the downvote will have weight when viewing from .world for yourself and fellow .world users, but it won’t offer any weight on .one?

If I have that right it’s a very cool example of instances curating content for their local community members in a way that works for them. Doesn’t mean I won’t see someone’s comment, but a user that got buried may have a chance of being heard by other communities. Very cool.

Got it. Yeah reading more about it in some threads now. Can you downvote my posts from your instance while it’s disabled on my instance?
