Anything i post from this account is not visible to other instances on lemmynsfw and my comments say they have been "removed by a mod". what's going on? Can other instances shadowban users?
I don't take care of my health enough. Too much stress, too little sleep, bad food. My mind is in trouble now 
And how would the Nintendies and Nvidiots react to this? This is a completely off the wall random hypothetical that popped into my head just now.
They were one of the biggest userbases that was still federated.

We are going from technologically illiterate to technologically retarded. 
In my head I was thinking, you say this as you post using your reddit account. (I don't have a reddit account and refuse to get one so I couldn't reply.) But this lemming probably used their Goolag account to sign up, because it's le convenient.
Sorry, newb fediverse question: For example, I can browse here through sh.itjust.works/c/general@burgitt.moe just fine. But I can't seem to browse, say, animemes@burgitt.moe. I think I read that a user on one instance has to attempt to browse a community in a federated instance, before it will appear on the first instance? But animemes 404s, while the federation clearly works because I can see general. Does it just take some time? I'm just trying to get an account which is on a well-federated instance. I want access to posting free-speech instances like burggit, but I also want access to post on mainstream instances like lemmy.world which defed burggit. I actually started on lemmy.world but switched to sh.itjust.works after looking at which their defeds were (literally just burggit lol). For that matter, if I want to find burggit communities that are new to me, am I mostly stuck browsing the burggit front page, which means I'm logged out of my sh.itjust.works account? What I really want is a good way to browse an instance's local front page, theme and all, while being logged in on another instance and still able to vote and post. I guess that's going to come in the form of some app/browser extension we don't have yet though.

Not too surprised, though it's assuring seeing them doubling down on this path and the enshittification will continue. Better jump the ship sooner than later.
Right on the main sidebar of the site it says: >**We do not respect DMCA, complaints related to such matters are thrown directly in the trash, by us and our hosts.** While I think that's awesome, before I post something that might have copyrighted content, the sidebar lists the first rule of the site as: >No illegal content under Netherlands law While I'm not a citizen of the Netherlands, I'm pretty sure that distributing copyrighted material is illegal under NL law. So I did a little research... And, while [I dont](https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0001827/2023-05-01) [speak Dutch](https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0001886/2022-10-01), I tried using Google Translate and I'm very sure that the distribution of copyrighted material is illegal in the Netherlands. There might be legal grey areas or caveats I don't understand. That's why I'm making this post. What's the official stance of Burggit on posting copyrighted material?
I mean the obvious answer is that they're commies, but why? My feed is so dead now
I noticed that the subscriber number is actually separate depending on what site you're on. Thought that was neat, but I do wish everyone could see total subscribers. Obviously a thing for lemmy to deal with rather than here specifcally but just wanted to share. https://lemmynsfw.com/c/cunny@burggit.moe - 17 subscribers https://burggit.moe/c/cunny - 111 subscribers
Guess they can't resist not shitting out their garbage, outright vile, hostile political ideology and ram it down people's throats.
Getting an 521 error earlier today and now it's taking forever to load.
As I am sure is the case for many of you, the recent Reddit drama inspired me to take a serious look at federated software, including Lemmy. I've got my own opinions about the decline of Reddit and I'm curious what you all think about it and where the Fediverse is going. In its early life Reddit seemed like it was worth engaging with. There were decent conversations to be had and free speech was still a value that was held generally. Today that couldn't be further from the truth, at least not in the mainstream subreddits. Some niche subreddits are OK. I attribute the decline of Reddit to the default subs being overrun by a gaggle of know-it-all 14 year-old-kids. I've got a teenager of my own these days so I see what her and her friends are up to. They're *generally* not very smart, hard to coach, are little assholes, and see things in black and white. Shoot -- I was that way when I was a teenager. Unfortunately, the toxic beliefs^1^ of some of these 14-year-olds has been reinforced in recent years through the public school system and higher education. This, too, I have witnessed through my own teenager. These toxic beliefs don't seem to be going anywhere as Gen Z grows up. Some Millenials are bought in, too.^2^ So how does this all affect the Fediverse? Well, last night when I was checking out Lemmy instances I noticed a distinct lack of support for free speech. The sidebar on [lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/) for instance lists its first rule as: > No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct. Okay, that's all fine and good. But doesn't that _go without saying in 2023?_ And isn't that covered by the second rule? > Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here. Racism, sexism, etc. are important enough to call out _specifically_ but doxxing and death threats aren't? I've started to read these sorts of statements as a "progressive" dogwhistle. If you don't subscribe to the ideology, you're unwelcome. Being disrespectful tends to go unnoticed when it's targeting the right people. So I look at a community like ours here at Burggit. I'm happy there's a bastion for free speech. But I can't help but wonder if the Fediverse will be fractured. I suspect there will be a contingent of leftist Lemmy and Mastodon instances that will block instances that support free speech. On some level it seems like this may already be happening. This federated stuff isn't even that big yet and [Mastodon has quite a lengthy list of blocked servers already](https://mastodon.social/about). Is there anything we can do about that? Is there anything we _should_ do? Do we even care? Is my assessment completely wrong? ^1^ I'm referring to beliefs like: offensive speech isn't worth protecting, we should shame people for offenses committed long ago, and that challenging deeply-held _personal_ beliefs is unacceptable (but only certain ones!), and that the government should decide what "truth" is. (e.g. the early COVID-related news about masks not being effective and [ivermectin being "horse de-wormer"](https://twitter.com/us_fda/status/1429050070243192839), regardless of ivermectin's ability to effectively treat COVID). ^2^ I actually have a theory that these toxic beliefs have been intentionally stoked by the ultra-rich in order to shut down the momentum of [Occupy Wall Street](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street). But that is a different post for a different time.
It is my (perhaps incorrect) understanding that NSFW communities are hidden from the global search unless you are registered/logged in at that instance. This makes it tough for federated users to find your stuff. Any tips on making that easier? For example, I am registered at `lemmy.ml` but wanna see y'alls `goodies` 👁️👄👁️ I also run an instance that allows NSFW content so curious for helping discoverability of that instance as well. Was thinking of maybe adding a 'site map-esque' concept to a general/welcome community's sidebar with the appropriate search strings. ie, something like: `If you'd like to subscribe to a community put this in your search bar...` `Community 1 is blah` `!{community_name_1}@{instance_url}` `Community 2 is blem` `!{community_name_2}@{instance_url}` `Community 3 is shmlep` `!{community_name_3}@{instance_url}` Any better way?

Didn't think this counted as creative cooking 😝 This is a long-winded review, but it can be summed up as "These drinks taste like glugging olive oil, and they coat the inside of your mouth in a slimy residue". Just the description of it reminds me of a Junji Ito short comic I read, about a teen girl whose house was drenched in cooking oil and whose father made them chug gallons of it. It's so comically unappetizing I kind of want to try it - proof that any buzz is good buzz, I guess.
What rules do you have? And what constitutes a user getting banned?
Switched account names to avoid confusion and ended up locked out of it because I'm an idiot
So I'm on Jerboa, and browsing NSFW Content is annoying. Every thread opens up a tab in my browser and if I just open the thread, the image is blurred. Anyone have any idea if you can disable the blurring?
I don't know if it's me missing something obvious, but the video player controls are where I would assume the expand to be. Hiding video controls just leaves it as a thumbnail, and clicking on it has no effect. Brave browser, the only extension that might be messing with it is Video Screenshot.
Now that I got the instance switched over to the better domain, I can share this.
Think someone out there could make a tool that can record records and map the federation status of lemmy instacnes? like the former fediverse.space or fba.ryona.agency
So I joined this morning. Seeing how reddit is declining and starting july 1, my RIF probably stopping I need another place to get my factorio, 3d printing and other subjects fix. But... I find finding community quite hard here, Are there any tips or tricks. I though using keywords like "factorio", "ender", "klipper" "entitledPeople" (dont judge) would at least give some hits.
