Oof

I saw some posts a few weeks ago predicting this and I thought they were too pessimistic

If you use your lemm.ee account, it doesn’t matter which instance you visit in Boost. It is always tied to the functionality of your account’s instance.

No, but there are some new lemmy features that no app supports yet ;)

Yes there is an open issue on Github for moderation notifications (Get notified when you’ve been banned, your post has been removed, etc): https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4572

I mean, lemm.ee is a very solid instance that also isnt overprone to defederating from everyone, if we’re going by that.

People keep bringing up that because of the devs history with that instance, “surely it is the Lemmy devs themselves who are doing this”. Which hurts Lemmy’s reputation overall.

Well since all major lemmy instances seem to hide mod names in their logs, we don’t know who the banning mods are.

Lemmy.ml also has the funny quirk that it doesnt have a proper legal imprint or team list afaik. So we don’t have actual transparent information on who is on that instances admin team and who is not. Iirc only one of dessalines and nutomic is on that admin team anymore.

Anything illegal posted on a remote server will bring legal trouble to you as a server admin the moment it federates onto your instance. Therefore I completely understand them defederating from instances with a high risk of illegal activity.

The idea to prompt people who want to subscribe to a publication with “enter your email or ActivityPub address” is great

Looks like a cat frozen in an ice cube

I mean, it’s possible, but far more likely that it was producers/showrunners/etc whose name we have never heard before tbh

Cape Kennedy-Moon-Honolulu.

“You know you could have take a more direct route to Honolulu, right?”

Depends on what frontend/app you are using. You might have an option in their settings to hide posts you have already interacted with.
