Same here. Not because I’m a pirate, but because lemmy.world has been trigger happy with blocking instances /communities. I did not leave reddit to be a part of even bigger shit show. So here’s hoping the fediverse works out.

I created an account today on lemm.ee because I thought defeterating from hexbear sucked, then there were others and today was the last straw, even though I don’t pirate. I didn’t leave reddit for more restrictive platform. Lemmy.world sucks balls.

I’d love a safe mainstream place based on mutual respect and healthy discussions of different viewpoints. Lemmy.world will not be that place if they continue their course. Defeterating pre-emptively (like hexbear) or banning community for discussing pirating (mind you, talking about pirating is not illegal and the community hosted no pirated content) is only a way of creating the Stepford Wifes community.

I typed in “what countries in Africa start with k” and got Kenya. When I tried your search term I got your result also. Weird.

Yeah, kinda like reddit used to do sometimes. From over a decade ago I remember “santorum”.

Thanks for the write up. I came to lemmy.ee because lemmy.world is defederation happy. That’s how I first heard of Hexbear. Several defederations later, here I am. You’re right, us, users can block communities and users from whichever instance they come from. We all curate our lists of communities. We are in charge of our experience if we are allowed to. I did not feel like I was in charge on lemmy.world and that’s why I’m here. Defederations should really be thr very last resort and even then considered super carefully and perhaps put to discussion like here or a poll.

I was flirting with Linux for 20 years. There was always something that put me off an I went back to Windows. Recently I installed ubuntu with Kde plasma and I’m not going back. It just works and is heaps faster on older hardware. The old driver issues are gone, compatibility is awesome. The only issue is getting used to new software names.

I get “this sub has no posts” on Sync.

Ethics of AI porn aside, can we talk about the Pornhub search function and how shit it is?

I do something similar. When I find a video I like I browse the playlists.
