So, after using Lemmy for 1.5 Years. You are telling I am not even allowed to use Lemmy? : fediverse

I seem to be missing some context - anyone want to fill in the rest of the class?

Edit: the image being shown to ~~lemmy users~~ everybody else is not being shown to ~~mbin users~~ ~~me and/or fedia.io users (unclear)~~ some unknown subsection of mbin users including me, so here it is for those like me: https://imgur.com/q4zuZzz

Must be your instance. I can see it fine from kbin.melroy.org, which also uses the mbin software.

Well, now that's just discrimination :(

Weird though!

Edit: it also doesn't show for kbin.earth (which is running mbin) - I'm curious what the source of the problem is for this strange and seemingly-arbitrary minority of users https://kbin.earth/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/1028068/So-after-using-Lemmy-for-1-5-Years-You-are-telling

why do mbin links always break on lemmy?

[–] JayGray91@fedia.io 1 points 5 hours ago

hmm, is it possible that maybe both of those mbin instances blocks imgur? I have accounts on both but I'm using fedia as my main

if this keeps up I might just abandon mbin and go with Lemmy while waiting for piefed lol...

If an admin put limitations to who can or can't belong and/or interact with their server, it's their responsibility to whitelist and blacklist accordingly.

Kit comes across like a dickhead from that screenshot.

An arrogant teenager?!?

I don't know them to judge them. I can only judge the interaction and there's not even context for that. They could be a perfectly nice adult.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: You have not been "using Lemmy" for 1.5 years now. "Lemmy" isn't a service the same way Reddit is, it's a web engine, like Joomla, or like phpBB.

You've been using lemm.ee for 1.5 years.

Nobody wants to hear this, but there's no "Lemmy". This emergent network of social media sites isn't a coherent thing, and it's not a stable concept. The attempts to make this look like a singular space are to the ultimate detriment of the network, because implicitly lying to end users about what they're doing informs how they behave.

You've been using lemm.ee. Lemm.ee has copies of content on other websites, but those websites have different rules, and different expectations than lemm.ee. You don't get to pretend otherwise because of where you're reading the content, and there is no guarantee that you will have further access to content from any other website than lemm.ee.

This is a reality that people simply do not want to face, for some reason. Everyone wants to imagine that federation is just centralized social media with some voodoo in the background, but it is a fundamentally different paradigm, and this is the wild fucking west.

You're going to get your toes stepped on if you treat it like something it's not.
