I agree with you.

Piefed is great, but there is so much bias built into it. Say what you want about lemmy’s devs, AFAIK there is none of their bias built in to lemmy.

The whole jump to piefed movement has not sat well with me. I get the extra features, but for it to really be something for everyone the dev has to consider their approach. Who knows what might be targetted next because the dev doesn’t like it. (Hyperbole btw, but its akin to censorship)

Calling piefed.zip negligent because we give users control of their experience speaks volumes about either a poorly thought out system or a purposeful bias which shouldn’t exist in federated services. At least add the csam or far right instances to it if its a genuine tool, or remove it entirely

Its a plugin so not default behaviour, although I solidly believe that it should be built in.

Like mastodon in SSH (and yes, no blocking the line!)

Incredibly niche! :)

Probably why i like it so much.

Not seen one more detailed than this, although worth checking against fedidb.com - also, missing my new favourite from the list, stegodon (stegodon.social, stegodon.zip)

FYI these are all on ASN 49453

The other (lazier) option is to block/challenge the ASN

Yes there is potentially the option to block country codes in Piefed. We haven’t fully utilised that yet but its on the todo list :)

My response wasn’t regarding the geoblock, but to the above poster saying we block VPNs (which isn’t true)

But just so you’re aware, we dont geoblock federation traffic and all our posts, comments etc are federated without issue.

The only thing geoblocked is the UIs, so UK visitors can’t access the UI.

If your client tries to direct you to lemmy.zip rather than the crossposted article, then that client isn’t working properly and you should log a bug. Like any crosspost, the content federates fine.

Hope that clears it up for you.

We dont actually block VPNs, but we do block ASNs where we get abuse traffic. Just so happens that Proton VPNs servers in France are on that ASN.

I do give a fuck.

I give a fuck about creating a welcoming safe space on this instance.

I give a fuck that we act with integrity and fairness.

I don’t give a fuck that it hurts your feelings to be called out, nor do I have time to respond to emails that are just more justifications of your transphobia.

We issued a temp ban as a warning. Instead you harass my admin team and bad mouth admins from other instances, while continuing to try and justify yourself.

I suggest you find another instance that will accept your behaviour, because its not welcome here.

Thanks!

Hey! Can you double check its not in your spam folder?

If there’s nothing, then please send an email over to [email protected], include your username, and we can have a look for you!

Lemm.ee didn’t shut down because it was financially unsustainable though. It shut down because the admin team didn’t want to do it anymore.

Plenty of people have offered to take lemm.ee on and AFAIK nothing has progressed, but handled in a different way there could have been continuity and no need for users to transition away.

Given that the issue wasn’t one of finance and rather one of effort/will, how does charging for access change anything? The owner could decide they have had enough, walk away, and shut everything down anyway, no?

I very briefly played voidcrew and refunded it. Jump ship is far superior, even for a demo.

Been playing this for a couple of days with friends - amazing game, demo is great. Like a mix of deep rock, sea of theives etc. Really worth checking out.

Constantly tired and constantly being screamed at, but its all good thank you 🤣

Yeah spot on, it’s complicated by me being a UK resident and also the owner, and so the only way to protect the site without introducing age verification and AI monitoring (which are dystopian measures, not to mention incredibly expensive) without changing aspects of the site, is to just not provide a service to the UK users.

If I wasn’t in the UK, I’d just ignore this act like every other admin and service does.

Hey, we are aware - I’ve made a comment here: https://lemmy.zip/post/40323214/19304384

Tldr - try with a vpn!

That’s very kind of you ❤️

There is no need for us to defederate, the law is around accessing a specific website and the onligations to ensure the content on that website doesnt fall under the OSA.

It doesn’t matter where that content comes from, just that UK users don’t see specific content. Therefore we don’t show UK users any content.

That’s kind of a simplified summary, but hopefully makes sense.

It only impacts lemmy.zip because I am a UK resident and run the site, so am liable under the act. Otherwise I’d do what everyone else has done and ignore it.
