It's a Telegram bot that filters top rated articles in news.ycombinator and it links them like that. You can click the 'comments' link and see for yourself.

Why was lemmygrad blocked? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Thanks for your answer.

I understand, I assume it was during all that backlash against Lemmy and the devs, when even r/LemmyMigration mods created r/KbinMigration and closed that one due to the devs political affiliation and moderation policy.

Lemmygrad doesn't seem to be a very friendly instance unless you have those specific political loyalties, and it seems self-isolating as well to an extent, I just want to foster a culture of not letting anyone control what you see or what you can say, and also a culture of accountability and feedback. I just think thats what makes communities alive and good.

I understand (and it's something kind of ingrained in the Lemmy logic itself) this idea that you have to just join an instance taking into account things like politics. But I like the idea of having more neutral spaces, for example if you see why some users like your instance, they perceive it as an "apolitical", "chill" place with a good technical leadership.

As you say it's a personal conviction, maybe you thought your own instance should reflect your values and not federate with those that you don't like. But right now, don't you think that essentially mean limiting the access to the information? It's not "big deal", yes, they can create another account, but why? Why is it so needed?

I think you could perfectly run the instance and let everybody block what they don't want to see, and moderate on individual basis until circumstances require otherwise.

Yes and I value transparency and I think a good mod/admin gathers feedback from the community before and after making important decisions that might be perceived as censorship.

Look at the discussion in other instances, for example

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/99601

Yet most the answers this thread has been receiving essentially consist of "stfu & gtfo", if I end up leaving it's not going to be just because of the admin decisions but much more because of the poor userbase that does not care about holding admins accountable and retaining control. I don't even blame the admins at this point.

Why was lemmygrad blocked? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Did the admins poll the community about it? Why was such measure so needed? If the tankie content is so annoying why not let users decide what they want to see or not and what they want to block?

I don't like that the admins want to censor the content I can view or not. You guys are not protecting us nor doing us a favor, you're imposing your views over everyone else by limiting the information we are able to receive.

I don't support the devs views or the views in lemmygrad, but this is a dangerous precedent.

I've read several of the "arguments" for blocking the instance and all I can see is a bunch of people talking about politics and arguing about "floods in the frontpage". Well, let the user block communities if that's the case, same way I'm already blocking communities I'm not interested.

I think the admins want to feel like Facebook moderation. I'd be OK with it if any instance repeatedly generated spam, security, doxxing or any other concern that couldn't be solved by banning individuals, otherwise it's just plain censorship.

I just don't want the admins to use their power to decide what I can see or not. If this is going to be like this, I'll leave for a better instance because I can see where this is going to.

Best country/hosting options? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello, I am thinking of running a new instance for LatAm users and topics, and I see from the Lemmy documentation that "country and hosting must be chosen carefully to avoid issues, takedowns, loss of data" (roughly paraphrasing)

Looking for advice from you guys on the best hostings out there and best practices to avoid legal or hosting issues.

Do domain providers matter?

Resources on creating and running a new instance? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't know if this the right place for it, but I plan on creating a Lemmy instance, though my technical or development skills are not the best, I have some experience with website administration (simple stuff like WordPress).

Is this the best /c/ to gather advice for it? Is it something worth at all being that I'm not an expert on this stuff? If you can refer me to other communities or resources on instance setup I'd appreciate! It's a fun project and I want to contribute to the fediverse.
