  • It’s not actually all that expensive to host websites, it never has been, sh.itjust.works a larger instance with something like 1.5k posts and comments/day only spends about $150/month

    A bid cost saving is not using the “cloud”, cloud services do what they advertise (mainly allow one to “easily” scale up to millions of users), but its costly.

    But the beauty of it is that because Lemmy is decentralized, not one person/org has to worry about scaling to millions of users as the Lemmy-verse grows so hosters can skip the cloud

    Some pay out of pocket and some take the ways of the forums of ol, donations and small perks for donating. For example, having a db0 account and being a donator gains you voting rights. There’s been talk about private/VIP comms for donators as well


  • Welcome!

    Yea, you’ll see mastodon stuff from time to time, there’s nothing really that tells you it’s a mastodon post, they just look kinda different. For a mastodon post usually the giveaway is hashtags in the post like #hashtag except they’ll be links.

    Pixelfed is supposed to show up too, but federation with Lemmy has yet to “kick in” (at least as far as I’ve noticed)

    Also on Lemmy you can do ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ without any extra "" actually, here putting the extra 2 backslashes makes you lose your arm

    It’s actually really nice, now I can ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ right from my phone keyboard lmfao ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯



  • Please point me to this “harassment”. Am I messaging them directly constantly? Am I following them on GitHub and posting on their comments?

    Because documenting what they say and the actions they take is not “harassment”, that sounds like a line straight out of the Drump administration or Muskrat TBH. In fact, I’m pretty sure Muskrat did use that line of narrative with that one person who was documenting his private jet flights.

    Like I said, Authoritarians hate when people track what they do and will use all manner of words to discredit it, “harassment”, “fake news” etc.

    Just because you’re doing good dev/open source work, does not mean you get a free pass to push and spread toxicity and harmful propaganda. Especially when using power and influence from that work to do it.


  • “Why are you wasting your time fighting their left-flavored authoritarianism and toxicity‽ Just step aside and let them be to allow well known Russia/NK propaganda outlets to spread and proliferate and that “Russia is actually the good guys” already”

    Thanks for the concern, however, I’ll spend my free time how I see fit.

    Most of my work is focused on documentation and the occasional meme, I find it funny and interesting that you hate that so much. But as we all know, authoritarians hate it when people expose them.





  • I checked 2 other instance modlog’s, and didn’t see them there.

    I did notice “*Permanently Deleted*” for its post title, which is usually indicative of a total post purge (Deletes all content from a post, pictures, comments everything. Normally, an uploaded picture can hang around on an instance directly accessible by its image url), but it’s supposed to be reserved for really bad shit (read: illegal) you don’t want hanging around in an instances DBs

    That being said, even permanently deleted/purged stuff generally does show on the modlog, at least an entry that just says Permanently Deleted, so that is a bit concerning.

    Id suggest putting together your evidence into a post for !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com maybe you can catch the attention of another instance admin, maybe of db0 themself and they can look into it more (admins of other instances have special visibility into some things)

    Edit:

    I just realized you participated in an asklemmy post, not made one yourself, I was searching incorrectly lol

    Yea there are a number of other things that can happen in that case like blaze said, OP deleted the post, deleted their account, was caught posting really bad shit and their account was wholly purged etc


  • maybe the modlog isn’t completely visible across instances

    The modlog is vulnerable to the same federation issues that all Lemmy content can suffer from.

    Because I’ve noticed the same thing with comments removed by .ml admins, I can see the modlog entry when looking on .ml itself, but when viewed from .worlds modlog it’s missing in some cases

    But also, like all federated content, you won’t see modlog entries on your Instances modlog if they’ve defederated from an instance. So you won’t see hex/grad modlog entries on .world but you can from .ee for example
