I'm honestly more surprised liliputing still exists, that used to be an awesome diy in car computer forum

ootl?

here ya go https://lemmy.world/post/440073

right, but you cant interact unless you create an account there, thus fragmenting the 'fediverse'

Freenet still seems to be around. As I posted in my other comment here, I think Lemmy needs a client side censorship instead, giving users the option to hide what they don't want. Eventually this will become a mess of instances doing anything to prevent getting canceled, thus increasing censorship.

I'm on infosec.pub because I couldn't get registration working anywhere. I really don't think Lemmy will survive because of how convoluted it is.

I don't want to have to maintain multiple accounts or figure out how to get to the exploding heads url. A normal user just wants one account to "just work".

Hell, I can never even remember my own instances url

See my other post in this thread https://infosec.pub/comment/488302

Seeing the linking url I'm even more confused to this, I thought I posted on asklemny@lemmy.ml, so everything I post really is tied to my origin instance

So essentially it's highly censored to defederate them. Not only you can't view them using a different instance and post, but registering there, you can only interact with their instance. Lemmy needs a better method. I was thinking about this the other day, why is something as simple as blocking content on the users end or blocking x type of content not an option, even on registration. Even if there's hate speech mixed in, freedom of speech should exist, but freedom to not hear it, should also exist. Essentially shadow banning, but done by choice of those who don't want to hear said content.

Racism, bigotry, and sexism, exist in everyone. Maybe there's just better ways to express it, or not to. But it's cultural, people want to be with their culture, their people. When you force people to 'accept' everyone, they lose their Identity.

I really don't think Lemmy will survive as everyone will be afraid of getting cancelled and defederated.

I tried going to https://infosec.pub/c/censorship@exploding-heads.com and it was empty except one post. shortly after I posted this it looked like their whole instance went offline though. something is glitching, sometimes I can see all the posts when reloading, but usually not

Well, everyone just expected them to stay up, and no, emails never were required, you just hit next at the asking screen

But how does one know this instance will exist in a year? This was my hangup on Lemmy, was as I understand it, you lose your account and posts will be pruned if your instance goes down.

Also I don't want to use an email.

It's almost like Elon wanted to help push twitter users as well as the reddit exodus to lemmy

Actually finding an instance with a working signup seems to be a huge issue.. this whole process is..who knows what instance they want?
