Until the instance you choose blocks access to communities you enjoyed and it all starts over again.

Which I think is a problem in the structure of lemmy. I can understand them banning c/piracy from being hosted on lemmy.world, but blocking access to other communities on other instances from all of their users is really an issue. As a user I shouldn't have to create a new account to be able to see something hosted on lemmy.ml, no matter what the admins of my home instance think about it.

I think it should be up to the community admin to find an instance that supports them, not both the community creator and every user that wants to see that content.

Until accounts can be migrated or users are disconnected from the instances, this will be a huge limit of Lemmy over other social media. Having to maintain multiple accounts on the same platform simply to view all the content you want will deter users.

I can't speak for OP, but mine wasn't a tantrum of leaving. It was simply a frustration in having to find another instance that is accepting users and generally matches up with my views, and then rebuilding a new account with new subscriptions and new blocks etc. Maybe I'm missing something? It's really frustrating to have to rebuild your entire account because an instance admin blocked a community you were active in for semi-arbitrary reasons. If we could easily migrate accounts between instances, it would be very different.

Same here. Guess I've got to go to a new instance.

I've started listening to audio books. I usually only make it about 15-20 mins before I fall asleep.

Looking mindlessly at my phone and scrolling through pointless posts puts me to sleep significantly faster than laying still listening to whatever thoughts and concerns my brain conjures up.

Are you saying Ryan Gosling is literally a replicant?

They will start offering 4 day work weeks and reduce salaries accordingly.

The person referenced in the article was raided for completely unrelated charges. It just happened they took the server and backups as part of the raid. Had they hosted off-site or kept the backups off-site, the damage would have been minimal. This article brings up a good point, but it's not the nefariousness that the title implies.
