[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 63 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I fucking love when people who showed up a month ago say shit like "this is the Fediverse working as intended."

[–] Freeanotherday@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

Hexbear, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml really ruining the lemmy experience. Smh

[–] Freeanotherday@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago

I was on some instance and they mentioned .world is or is trying to be the face of the fediverse.

I demanded democracy.

vote hexbear-retro

Authoritarian iberals will never allow us to vote who we want to represent the fediverse.

i-voted

I just wish this wasn’t done at the request of a transphobic racist whole just did it to get back at is for getting banned for making transphobic and racist communities in this instance.

jesse-wtf

Pirates who share on the bear (hexbear) stay winning.

[–] Millie@lemm.ee 35 points 2 years ago

Easy enough to block .world and defederate from them on personal instances. It's devolved into a bunch of Reddit level shitposting already anyway.

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

What massive fucking nerds lmao

so fucking funny that these dweebs left reddit all in a self-righteous huff only to let that experience inform their efforts to build an even worse version of it

[–] Redcat@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

they are gonna block lemmy dot gardening because someone recommended not using monsanto's seeds and that's not fair

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The title is inaccurate. They blocked two specific piracy comms, not their entire instances. That is a measured way to avoid being taken down or sued for piracy.

[–] tetrabrick@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

True, made an edit.

[–] zoe@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

its for the benefit of everyone: its always possible to make separate accounts to satisfy separates needs: account for piracy, account for nsfw material, account for hex, etc..

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

account for piracy

hexbear-retro

account for nsfw material

hentai-free

account for hex

hexbear-retro

etc..

Doesn’t that go against the very point of federation?

[–] zoe@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

in a perfect world yea, but in reality some distance need to be put between the user and some sensitive content: u got the rest of the fediverse to federate with. Legally pursuing Lemmy.world proves that Lemmy is in fact a house of cards against corporations might (a part from the current ddos attacks).well, at least the instance admin would be in danger. U wouldnt want a fellow lemmie to be hurt would u ? consider it an online social distance of some sort. At this rate, any instance with major usercount would be obliged to follow suit and block those communities/instances, Hex might as well block them from now. also we users oblige the instance owner to cache other instances content for us to browse, so having certain defederated blocks would ease the load on the overall instances, and as users, it would be our duty to have multiple accounts in those corresponding blocks, like Hogwarts Houses, or Hunger games districts.

[–] Nightcastle@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Considering that lemmy caches all the data locally and each instance is essentially a users client for the rest of lemmy and lemmy.world is just running on some guys vps I get it, sure. Makes me want to have my own instance so I can cache posts on my own stuff outside direct US surveillance

[–] Finger@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago
