I absolutely love the new UI. It’s so responsive and modern, and for the most part, consistent.

nginx is like, the gold standard. it’s performant as heck. the issues are likely a culmination of many small sub-optimal pieces.

I completely agree with this and I think it's because of the legal issues it avoids. I'm not a lawyer, but if I'm not mistaken, the entire fediverse doesn't take a hit if a single server is a bad actor. Whereas sites like Reddit and Twitter need to defend themselves based on the content users generate.

The Fediverse and classical Usenet are so similar IMO. I think Usenet is just so old that nobody outside of pirates is familiar with it.

I’m not sure I understand enough about the fediverse to grasp the impact of this. Can I still subscribe to these communities manually? If not, is that a technical limitation of lemmy? Because I can see removing bad actors from the ALL feed, but what would be the harm or need to moderate if personally subscribed?

This actually seems like a really good way to share some archived files from my NAS with my brother without relying on SFTP over WireGuard.
