How does having alts erase past post history lmao

Texas governor designates Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR as terror organisations

Also, I can't imagine anyone who was actually close to someone being willing to actually use something this ghoulish.
Grief is a hell of a drug, someone who's just lost someone close to them might be willing to do a lot of things for just one more day, hour, minute with them
What was the issue with lemmy.zip? It's well maintained and the blocklist is quite short
If you want an instance not federated with hexbear, grad and ml, then infosec.pub should do it
.zip is on the short list for sure, the Triad federation though is a detractor for me, but not necessarily a deal breaker. I also don't want to just default to one of the big instances that every one is on
You once told me that power posters like me are essentially de facto advertisers for an instance, so I'm keeping that in mind as I go through these instances. I would like to promote small instances through my posting, so eventually I'll probably just starting posting from random instance accounts that I've already made
Infosec.pub is decent, but was having issues when I went through it. That was either the one that was sporadically going down or the one that was taking 45+ seconds to post every post (I'd have to check my notes). But I discovered, like you said, it defederates from the entire Triad so that's a big plus. I'll revisit it for sure to see if the issues I encountered were just bad timing
If you are using alts to federate communities, that's fine, but keeping posting from one account would be better, those are two different things
Because I post such a wide variety of content, simply posting is an effective way to discover what comms are and are not federated on an instance (short of writing a bot to do it ofc, but whats the fun in that?)
Also, if an instance is missing big communities, the admins probably didn't bother setting up Lemmy-federate , and users didn't bother to ask either, so it's probably a quite low population instance
That's true for at least one instance I've been on, but I honestly think that bot is not as reliable as it seems...
For other people blocking me, I don't really care if they do or don't, it's just unfortunate unintended side effects for the actual reasons:
Shopping for a new home instance
Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the "hot" feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you're on lol)
Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. )
Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job
Interconnecting wayward or much smaller instances, a couple of them are missing even the big comms, one I was on the other day I needed to manual have it federate with every comm I posted to
For the creation of comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I'm not making a whole bunch on any one instance
Lol I post a wide range of content sometimes it just naturally clusters
At least I have a post history ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Be the change you want in the Threadiverse feed
Um, this is a mozilla foundation link LMAO
