That’s just how it shows up when a community is banned/removed by a local admin though.
They used the same feature as everyone else:
I’ve used it myself plenty enough.
Fuck Grad, but this part is patently false:
using special code no other instance can access
You can still access removed or blocked communities while on servers that remove them.
But when you try to do the same with this one on anything Lemmy-dev owned, then it comes up with an error page.
No other server or any other community comes up with an error page.
You can still access removed or blocked communities while on servers that remove them.
I can see https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] when logged in as an admin (to be able to unremove it), but it does throw that same
couldnt_find_communityerror message when logged out.Now try the same using lemmy.ml for this community
Yep, this community is banned from lemmy.ml - no special code or anything suspicious going on.
Least fragile tankies.
Ironically them blocking it is just spreading more awareness of it.
I’d have never found this place we’re it not for the Tankies pointing it out LOL
Seems like there’s no explanation regarding this decision whatsoever. This place is less toxic than any other haha look at those conservatives community(not that I’m a big conservative or anything). I’ve been here since the beginning of this sub and this place has never been homophobic, transphobic, basically, never been dick to anyone. We made fun of tankies and their mental gymnastics and tankies are just as qualified of being a target of mockery as those conservative right-wing qanon bs.
If one of the bigger instances of lemmy such as lemmy.ml and the developer himself is blocking this instance just out of sheer fragility, lemmy as a whole is at quite a stake. I know it’s federated and you can always host your own instance to tickle your fancy but c’mon. This kind of shit is why lemmy.world got bigger than lemmy.ml or beehaw in the first place. That’s honestly a loss in the big picture.
I hope the dev take some time to recover from reading all the tankie bad posts and unblock this place.
It’s more so, “Can we really trust these guys to be developing Lemmy?”
It is open source tbh so it could be forked
I don’t have high hopes even for a fork. Reddit clones tend to attract people who were banned from Reddit and there tends to be a reason for that.
The best thing would be for a third party support community to spring up, possibly with a dedicated instance so that admins don’t get locked out of support for wrongthink.
Fair, noticed here it’s either tankies, racists or a high amount of FOSS nerds.
I’ve been here for a month and I’ve only seen a couple of racist comments that’s abouts it really. It’s mainly tankie stuff that I see
They get defedd’ed
I’m pretty sure that’s because the FOSS nerds are working really hard to maintain a high quality experience.
