I’ve seen the controversy where lemmy.world defederated from 2 piracy instances.
No they didn’t. They blocked 3 communities from 2 different instances. All other communities on those instances are available to .world users and .world is still available to all users on those two instances.
Blocking individual communities is not the same thing as defederating from those instances.
I dunno man, when it comes right down to it, who are any of us really? Y’know?
Might be worth remembering here that Lemmy instances, including .world are hosted by regular people. Not massive multinational companies worth billions who can engage the best legal talent around.
If Hollywood comes after a Lemmy instance, Holywood have a huge legal team and endless money. The Lemmy instance has some guy. They could quite literally destroy a persons life. With that in mind, I don’t blame any instance owners for erring on the side of taking a stance that won’t put them in the legal firing line.
Also, installation instructions that don’t assume you’re already an expert.
Are all their apps/backend open source? They have a github repo but it’s not very clear what’s open source or if its partial open source or what. I think it’s just their mail app and windows desktop app.
If that is this case, they’re asking their users to have a lot of trust in them.
If someone posts from Mastodon to Lemmy, then yeah, that content is now part of Lemmy.
American liberals would be Tories in the UK.
Yunohost installs a whole OS - Debian 11 - so you’d be essentially be flattening the drive.
I self host Ampache and have Sublime Music on my desktop and Substreamer on my Android device.
I think between those 5, there’s not a country on the planet that hasn’t been infiltrated.
That was a bit halfhearted. You didn’t use the phrase ‘hive mind’ or anything.
OK, so you can login anonymously. Great.
The real question is; why would you want to, given that the dead bird site is a cesspool of extreme rightwing awfulness? What are you hoping to learn or take from being on there?
A few months ago. They said that hosting companies and other providers were refusing to work with them if they continued with it as a feature.
It’s just too easy to abuse by bad people using it to host very questionable content. Lots of people then moved to ivpn and then they removed it too, for the same reasons.
Both to the instance I’m on, because hosting and bandwidth costs money and to the Lemmy software devs because I’d like them to be able to concentrate on developing Lemmy.
Don’t know about the other 2 but .world has been enduring an on/off ddos attack for over a week, then yesterday had a non ddos related db issue.
It’s my absolute favourite book series ever. I kept putting it off and putting it off as I thought - Napoleonic Wars, sailing ships, nah - but they blew me away from book 1.
There are solid rumours that a script is being written to launch the series as a movie universe. To be honest though, there’s so much detail in each book I think each book would work better as a TV season.
