This is ultimately why I decided to roll my own instance. I'm keeping my backup here though in case I mess something up, but full control is nice to have.

I mean, the great thing about federation is that you can just have different accounts for different servers

Seems a bit short sighted. There are some games, movies and TV shows that simply don’t exist to buy legally or even second hand.

Torrenting is the only way in some instances to preserve content.

Was to lazy to change instances even though .world was always down. Actively censoring made me finally pull the plug. Thanks for helping me out I guess

If I was on that instance and subscribed to this community, I wouldn't see these posts any more? If I wasn't paying attention would I even know it was gone?

That's correct. No you wouldn't.

This sub disappeared from my subscriptions on my .world account, but it was a c/Mildly Infuriating post that tipped me off.

Fuck lemmy.world, good it's a bunch of trash anyway.

[–] haych@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.world sucks, it's constantly down and they block communities people want to federate with, and leave communities federated people want blocked.

Yay for power-tripping.

If Lemmy.world decides to roll advertisements we'll know why at least.

The kick that made me switch
