The largest piracy community is hosted over at [email protected]

lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked [email protected].

If this is a problem for you, I'd suggest migrating accounts using LASIM to an instance that doesn't block it (such as lemm.ee).

An official announcement has been made:

I love these comments. It shows the federation is working. If reddit did this it was "oh no what now" but with lemmy it's just "time to move to another instance"

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I just don't like the idea of having 500 accounts after it's all said and done, especially if most of them wind up being unused... unless I'm fundamentally doing something wrong by creating a new account on every instance I want to use?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean you won't, they way it's going to shake out is instances with similar values form nation-states and cut ties with other nation-states they dont agree with

well probably see the emergence of meta-alliances soon that dictate the degree of separation of a blacklisted instance.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't need an account for every instance.

How it will mostly evolve in the future is that people will have one vanilla account, and if they want, one account for piracy and another for porn

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you need an account to go to an instance that isn't federated. this is the core flaw that makes this entire system unusable for normal people. you don't want to have multiple accounts just so you can post the same memes in 12 different servers to get 1/40th the interaction you would get if everyone was centralized. this isn't a discord server, its a link aggregator and decentralizing the aggregator is antithetical to making this service work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or just find an instance that has federation policies you agree with, you don't need to post in every single instance - maybe some defederated because there were too many people posting the same shitty memes. And who needs 40x interaction? Reddit was too big, too many people competing for attention.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and then that instance get defederated by one of the big instances or has other performance issues because its not one of the big instances and now you're stuck picking from the big instances if you want any kind of content and curation on a socialmedia platform built to centralize users into interest groups so they can curate and discuss content. but yeah, defederatino is good for that, lets you live in your completely unpopulated bubble.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Very hypothetical there, like you're reaching for things that could go wrong.

I know that centralisation doesn't work because I've seen it turn the internet to shit over the last 15 years. If I had it my way we'd go back to small independent forums with no federation because they were much better communities. But in the name of progress, federation does have some advantages, but as soon as things start getting too big there should absolutely be defederation to prevent the platform from getting like Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

im telling you things that are happening right not to various instances for various reasons, all of them down to the personal bias of the admins, not the consensus of the users in that instance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who says they need consensus? Instances are privately run, they don't have to be democracies. Users can vote with their feet, so to speak.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah, the admins can just make unilateral changes to their platform, that isn't the problem with every form of socialmedia, no, its something else.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Correct, because it's decentralised. It only becomes a problem when you have a monopoly of big centralised platforms.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You fundamentally so not understand the problem with federation and the admins. Is not a good thing just because it is, it's the same problem, in a different coat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be honest, if that person is so keen on centralized platform, why are they even here? They should just go back to Reddit, they might come back here later

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

what was the centralized one everyone went to? squabbles?

wait nope the admin turned out to be a free speech nutjob and everyone left. uhhh, discuit? i think that's a thing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

it doesn't mater what you like, if the platform can not grow from here, witch it can not in its current state, it will simply bleed users and die like voat.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just spun up my own instance and federate with whoever I want.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What kind of specs do you need to run a personal instance? I'd like to, but I don't really want to invest in a bunch of computer stuff right now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eh, as long as it can run Linux, >2gb of RAM, and >50GB of storage, even a raspberry pi can host Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No way! I've got a r pi 4 buried somewhere in my garage. Gonna have to try to set up my own instance. Is there a starter guide for people of limited intelligence? How'd you get yours set up?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Lemmy Easy Deploy has ARM64 support.

After you got lemmy up and running on your raspberry pi, the next hurdle is making it accessible from the internet so other lemmy instances can federate with your instance. There are several way to do that, such as getting a static ip address from your ISP and forwarding port 80 and 443 to your pi from your router config, using clodflare tunnel, etc.

Just ask the selfhost community if you hit a roadblock. They love getting more people to join their rank.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Great! Thanks for the tips. Happy to find my next project lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yunohost has a Lemmy app

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I got the cheapest VPS from Hetzner which is around 5 EUR.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

until your instance gets banned for being too small once the system reaches critical mass.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Better than than now.

i have been on the mastodon side of the fedi since 2018

single user instances do not get defed'd out of nowhere. i've rarely (if ever) seen that happen. now if you're an asshole in a single user instance then maybe, but there isn't anyone going "ooh i'm gonna defederate from this guy" without you provoking them in some way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

When single user interfaces start becoming problematic, they will be. Neither of these platforms have reached a large enough size to need it, but it will eventually be necessary for groups of servers to only federated with themselves to ensure compatibility and scalability. We already have issues with propagating content, systemic and programmaticly.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I mean saying 500 is a little hyperbolic but this is exactly why federation exists and isn’t just another Reddit.

You find what you like and go there. It’s really no different than the old forums. Reddit centralized everything, lemmy is that but also the old way.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I feel a little better about it if lemmy provided migration tools.

It certainly not the end of the world but it is kind of a pain in the ass.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Reddit has plenty of piracy communities, being more strict than reddit is is just unnecessary

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

They also had quite a few subs that got shut down due to copyright threats. Reddit can afford to fight multimillion dollar suits.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I love it. We will win in the end, against the corpos, they shall rule in Hell whilst we serve in Heaven

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Normal people not wanted to put themselves in legal jeopardy doesn't make them a "corpo".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Uhhh I think you misunderstand the original quote

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really, in seeking to gain power, they create something worthless by destroying what is valuable, but by working together, we create something glorious that none of us are really in charge of.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

usually god, the ultimate authoritarian, is in charge of heaven. i'll pass

Thank you for taking my metaphor too literally just for the edge
