Lemmy needs the option to block mirroring of content of NSFW instances seperate from the users participating in them. I need a second account now because my lemmynsfw is blocked from feddit.de for that. It is a bit of a clusterfuck.

Lemmy is a bit glitchy. Like how the upvote counts go crazy.

I think I mostly prefer desktop. I will check with the Android app.

I am registered at lemmynsfw, because I was looking for a moderated, but freely allowing instance aligning with my statement on sex positivity and wanting to see a tumblr like freedom regarding that.

However, lemmy.ml and feddit.de, two very large instances have issued a block. One of the reasons why feddit did it, was because the content would be mirrored on their servers and they would be legally liable for it for distributing adult material. The other being, the all feed will be flooded with porn as soon as some subcribe to it.

Why lemmy.ml did that is unknown to me, but shuts me out of a significant portion of the fediverse. Leaving me overall with little to no choice than to create a second account on something like this instance. And as far as I understand, even posting adult content on the lemmynsfw hosted communities would be a breach of the guidelines outlined on this instance, but I am not too sure about it.

Especially seeing the mirror problem, I doubt there is structurally any other choice than to have an advanced UI incorporating multiple different accounts for the lemmyverse.

The total lack of account portability makes these situations very frustrating to deal with, as the content has much longer half-life than microblogging and instance failures would have a large impact.

Thank you for the information. Also I just found out lemmy.ml blocked my entire lemmynsfw instance, shutting me out of most of the content. I specifically did that to show support for sex positivity and not for porn. Seeing the fediverse in general tries to shut NSFW harder than big tech at times. The old, free tumblr was great.

It is a very large instance though with different communities. It is more of a technical slog though, barely works.

No, this is over blown. Whenever visited before the large influx, lemmygrad was so big it made clear who this was for. But not on the technical level. Now it just is a reddit alternative, which also has some questionable communities here and there to be dealt with.

Slap them with a real lawsuit, if they guess wrong.

With the federation I would be careful without someone measures. Not sure if IP addresses get shared between instances, but I heard the E-Mail would.

If you use an account with the intent of staying anonymous, at no point you may ever connect it to a traceable IP. There is a chance the access history gets IP logged and authorities will trace through all of them.

I hope they will fix NSFW content plopping up on the "All" feed. Currently feddit.de decided to ban my lemmynsfw instance, because they didn't want the content mirrored on their sites and not flood the All frontpage. But it means I cannot interact with that instance for a technical flaw than bad policing.

I believe in the long run there will be a focus on development for better, customizable, algorithmic discoverability, because as much as the Silicon Valleys algorithms are harmful, there are still benefits to them. For example I had to mute some interesting accounts, because their posting frequency floods my timeline. Hopefully it won't be necessary in the future.

I never thought YouTube's business model was very sustainable. As the world economy goes down, so does the value of ads. Creators or consumers need to pay up for all the bandwidth and storage. The question is about what is a reasonable price. Are low tiers for $3/mo. possible along with premium 4k options or does everything need to be at more than that?
