I learned just recently that dbzer0 has a great piracy community that is blocked by lemmy.world . I’m not saying I’m looking to switch instances or anything, but it did get me wondering what else might be blocked by my instance that I wasn’t previously aware of.
While we’re at it, I’m curious what communities might notably be blocked on other instances as well. So we might as well just make this a question about what might be blocked by any particular instance, not just my instance.
So, what’s blocked on some instances that folks might not have realized is blocked?
Make accounts on 2-3 instances. It’s worth it.
Yeah for example I started on lemmy.world and then there was some defederation drama. So I made an account on lemmy.today because they don’t block any instances. Just to give me the entirety of the fediverse. Plus it’s good to have a backup in case a server goes down.
I made my own for that, I only semiuse it tho, I was already renting a vps because it had a good deal so might as well
EDIT: Lol I didnt even read the post. I got so excited and jumped into comments. 😅
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (blocked by lemmy.world instance)
Sail free on the High Seas! 🏴☠️
I haven’t checked out Beehaw in a while, but I used to enjoy spending time there. Some people didn’t like it because of how heavily they curated their instance, but I really enjoyed how polite it was. It ultimately discouraged a lot of people from going there, which they saw as good, but most outsiders saw as bad.
As .world ramped up in volume, I had more and more to interact with here, and I ran out of time to be instance hopping so I haven’t checked what they’re up to lately.
Overall, blahaj seems to have done a better job doing something similar while not alienating people. But if you want to see a Lemmy instance that decided to take the route less taken, maybe give them a look.
Beehaw is the best run instance on the fediverse no question. I generally like blahaj as well but it can get a bit rowdy lol
Running 0.18.3 is probably not the sweetest experience nowadays
You might consider making accounts on different instances because over my time here I’ve had to hop back and forth multiple times over update issues and server issues.
In LW you can’t see Beehaw. Haven’t been on beehaw in a while, but it has some really great people. I think Hexabear or whatever it’s called is blocked too. They are more negative, like reddit was when I left.
You can look at the federated instances in the stats tab on the LW main page. There are also some radical extreme Right instances like Brighton on that list. Most of the rest are some of the paraphilia instances and trolls.
If you’re talking about blocking specific communities, I’m not aware of any other major ones. Lemmy.world is the largest instance, so most likely to be targeted by legal threats, and run by volunteers, so not worth going to jail over.
Entire instance blocks are pretty common though. Ignoring spam instances, the commonly blocked ones would be Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Hilarious Chaos (previously called Exploding Heads).
any other major ones
Isn’t that the one that OP is talking about? I’m not aware of any other major ones, other than the great piracy community on dbzer0 that OP recently learned about.
Hexbear makes the best memes bar none. They are certainly on the zeitgeist but you shitlibs just can’t handle it. Too much edginess to make you feel good about your blood-soaked 401K I guess.
Imagine thinking this comment would convince someone to come to hexbear
Imagine thinking that was my intent.
Wow! That’s incredible!
How long did it take you to talk to every liberal?
Are you a journalist? Did you go door to door? Did you organize meetings in cities of varying liberal population percentages?
& the planning, networking, coordination, long-term communication, & all the other work must have taken ages before you released your research papers.
Please send me some links to those papers. Do you have a repository?
That would make things much easier for independents like me who must be dumbfucks for choosing candidates who have concrete evidence of a clear understanding as to how government has worked successfully & unsuccessfully to benefit communities of various sizes, ethnicity percentages, religions, genders & the gender-questioning or who have made the uncomplicated & trouble-free decision to live as the gender they believe they are & often have have medical evidence (by those ultra-rich doctors probably), farmers, law enforcement, & so many other groups in this country which seems (I’m sure it’s all a ruse), through data, to have benefited from our melting pot citizenry, refugees, & illegal immigrants doing the jobs so few natural citizens, like the Ohlone, Paiute, Navajo, Chippewa, Iroquois, & other Native Americans, prefer to do.
Through which journals did you publish your papers & how did you factor biases to ensure objectivity?
Thank you so much for all that work. It must have taken a lifetime. Would you mind sharing your age? I respectfully expect you must be a centurion.
Where can I find a bibliography? I’m sure each entry includes your peer-reviewed sources.
I know that, given I’m nearly 50, which may make me one of those fandangled boomers I used to hear about, the likelihood of actually living long enough to read your well-written works is currently low.
Hopefully the work all those idiots who have been using their fancy-pants, high-falutin’ college degrees to extend the lives of democrats, republicans, third-party members, independents, or otherwise will pan out since those wealthy tech bros like Altman & Musk have been using cutting edge tech (blech!) to solve these aging problems humans have had to deal with since, well, forever I guess.
I mean you must have accumulated mountains & mountains of data to be able to confidently determine “shitlib” is the appropriate term, despite the obvious division of the 99% of people who make less than the billionaires who have helped & continue to help our 47th President become our supreme leader despite the
• sexual assault conviction
• 34 felony convictions of falsifying business records in order to keep hidden his infidelity or infidelities (thank the Gods you’ve done this research!)
&
• civil fraud conviction for inflating & deflating assets.
Its honorable citizens like you who do your own extensive & objective research to wake us shitlibs, shitcons, & shitdependts up with tangible quantitative data from peer-reviewed sources by those shit-for-brains white tower elites with their excessive 5 or 6 digit salaries that your work has confirmed to be bullshit.
I also look forward to the day you are able to piece together those concepts of ideas you mull over that will save us from the wealthy elite like Zuckerberg (more like Fuckerberg, right?), Bezos, & Musk who so not arrogantly stood behind our newish President at his inauguration.
Thank you, you most distinguished, respected, & qualified independent researcher.
Thank you for your noticeably considerable, in both magnitude & cogency, lifetime of peer-scrutinized, authoritative work.
I’m loving this new tagging feature.
You somehow missed that I must be an unhinged shitdependent.
Please help me, in all my dumbfuckery, how I am unhinged.
Is it because I use words you find challenging?
Is it because I use many words?
I’m obviously not as hinged as you since you appear to be an authority in these matters.
Help me understand just what exactly you find less than hinged.
