Let's donate for the lemmy.world server

How about donating to smaller instances so we aren't one government raid away from collapsing.

Both. Let's do both.

Like it or not, right now lemmy.world is the landing page for Lemmy and much of the fediverse as a whole.

From there, they can start branching out to other instances.

Exactly. It's an introduction and containment Instance. Basically our reddit. Then the rest of the Fediverse can interact with it or keep it at arms distance however much they wish.

why are all ur posts meta

Good question. I think it has multiple reasons.

  1. It's not that all my posts are meta, but the meta one's are the most successful.
  2. I want to contribute content to lemmy, so that it will prevail and attract new users. I also make memes on things that are on my mind, which is lemmy, when I'm on lemmy.
  3. Well I could post memes about very niche topics, that I'm interested in, but I think that they wouldn't be interesting/funny for most of the users here. While content about lemmy is most likely interesting/funny for the users here.
  4. I think shitposting is rather often meta.
  5. In the last days not many things happened, that would be memeable.
  6. So that can see that it's OC.

But I take your comment as a challenge to shitpost more on other topics.

What are you talking about?

i noticed a large portion of op's post are all meta/lemmy related and i was curious as to why

Op is probably just heavily invested in the meme economy

It’s low hanging fruit to make fun of or reference lemmy.world and its issues over the last few weeks.

I mean… if it annoys you, block the user…?

People are gonna post memes here. I don’t see why that’s a problem. You can opt out of seeing them if you want.

Here you go, 1 internet coin. Use it wisely.

I moved back to .ml because it was so bad. Comments and posts would give errors on loading and posting. Maybe everyone jumping on a single server wasn't the best idea.

Definitely improved. I remember having to strangle the upvote button and constantly refresh search results to get them to actually load. For the past 5+ days though its been Reddit-smooth; little sluggish today but not by much.

There is a discord server for the subs that are run by the coalition. It should be sticked on this sub

Its still shitting the bed. I am logged in but says I am not logged in. Tried on thunder and jerboa. Now I have moved to aussie.zone instance and its pretty snappy.

The log in issue started with the hack. I was able to fix it by clearing cookies and files from the jebora app. This is my 2nd comment after I finally solved it

Thank you!!! This worked. I Uninstaller and reinstalled the jerboa app and it still wouldn't work. Had this issue ok connect too. Clearing data and cache worked!

How about no? No instance in the fediverse should grow as unsustainably as lemmy.world or lemmy.ml. People should naturally diversify into the smaller instances because that is what a federated Lemmyverse is supposed to be about.

i moved to lemm.ee and i have 0 issues it's awesome

That is still the 7th largest instance. I'm glad it still works out for you, but I'm still not a fan of how the entire fediverse can be summarised in the top few instances.

I will consider donating when free speech is clearly allowed here. I'm not paying to have Reddit2 just without Spez.

Create your own instance then with free speach and hoo... i mean freedom

Can it be so? I'm pretty sure all instances must abide by these rules: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

What rules? There is no higher power here. Other instances will defederate you but you can do whatever you want on your own.

I think it can. Just most other instances will likely defederate you, but not all.

They cant do anything lmao just defederate and thats it.

How are you so fucking dense?

The enforcement policies listed above apply to all official Lemmy venues; including git repositories under github.com/LemmyNet and git.join-lemmy.org/LemmyNet, the Matrix chat; lemmy.ml and other instances under that domain.

Dude is literally a Nazi, so that should answer your question.

Lmao what the fuck are you talking about

They are upset that they can't be racist without being banned.

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

While well intentioned, it limits the freedom of speech.

sigh

I’ve had this debate already only a few days ago. Freedom of speech is not an absolute, categorical right. Freedom of Speech means “the government you reside under doesn’t restrict what you say”. It does not mean that you have cart blanche to say whatever the fuck you want, with a guarantee of no repercussions from anyone, anywhere.

If you go around shouting Nazi/white supremacist/etc. slogans and shit like that in a country that has Freedom of Speech (e.g. the US), I have precisely zero sympathy for you when you get knocked the fuck out by a well-meaning stranger who dislikes Nazis enough that they’ve made it a personal policy to beat the ever living shit out of them at every possible opportunity.

Some speech can definitely be categorized as “fucking around”; that sort of speech, despite being 100% legal in the United States, can and will lead to you Finding Out from your fellow citizens.

Does the US have libel laws? If so, why wouldn't that count as the government restricting speech?

Its so weird when people bring up freedom of speech and then they end up saying the most vile shit. Not implying anything here but I'm just saying how often that happens.

What do you specifically take issue with? I don't see anything in there that would prevent spinning up your own instance. There are already places on Lemmy that violate most of those rules, they are just defederated from most instances.

It's only a violation for their GitHub and lemmy.ml.

Only if you plan on posting nazi shit. If you don't try to post nazi shit, then your freedom won't be limited.

Yeah, I wouldn't try luck making an offensive joke...

Is that a realistically achievable condition?

It was (if not, pretty close) back in the day when Reddit started.
