invidious and piped instances regularly get rate-limited or blocked. it’s a perpetual arms race where google can decide to fight harder at any time.

it is open source. Stop gatekeeping the term

i guess you didn’t click the link in my comment? here is another, with a list of governments and other entities who all agree about the definition: opensource.org/authority/

I can understand why someone would say open source

I can understand why too: it’s either because they were not aware of the widely agreed-upon definition of the term, or because they’re being disingenuous. I’m assuming it was the former; whether OP edits the post will reveal if it was actually the latter.

When I tried to open this article about the importance of allowing bots to archive content, I got this “Robot Challenge Screen”:

the famous “This incident will be reported” error was briefly removed last year before being replaced with a less ominous version.

it’s getting deleted 19 minutes after posting, ok?

The Lemmy software is intended to be somewhat censorship resistant, but that does not mean that lemmy.ml is a “free speech platform”.

Like most instances, lemmy.ml has rules (they’re in the sidebar on the front page) and we regularly delete posts and comments which violate them.

That instance you’re talking about is intended to be a “free speech platform”, which in modern internet parlance is a synonym for “nazi bar”. One of the two admins of that instance says explicitly: “racism, bigotry, sexism is allowed".

Most Lemmy users aren’t into racism, bigotry, sexism, and the other things people there are into, so, most Lemmy instances have defederated them.

I hope this answers your question!

As a new member of the lemmy.ml admin team I’ve also been removing a lot of posts from here which belong in lemmy_support, which I think is worthwhile for preventing this community from becoming a boring list of support questions.

To the many people who are flagging them: please read the examples above and don’t flag every post that is about lemmy; only flag ones that are actually concrete support questions. And do feel free to actually answer these questions before flagging them, so that the person asking doesn’t necessarily need to re-post it.

Thanks!

!lemmy_support is the place for support questions

cypherpunks, 1 year ago

you can see what instances your instance vlemmy.net federated with at vlemmy.net/instances and yes diggit.xyz is currently there. you can find some of their communities here or paste a specific community URL from diggit.xyz/communities in your instance’s search box to cause it to federate if it isn’t yet.

i’m deleting this post now; if you have more support questions please use !lemmy_support

I uploaded this image to a caption generator AI and it says:

• a black and white photo of a clock
• a close up of a clock on a building
• a black and white picture of a clock
• a close up of a clock on the wall
