And this ties into people asking for things like “is there a way to LIST what communities an instance has?” On an app by app basis, because as the other user said - this whole “we’re in this together” thing with the federation idea isn’t really clicking.

I took would liberalism to disappear from my feeds.

I thought about using this but bro, I’m not installing a desktop piece of software for this nonsense.

That’s my problem. When people say “just switch instances, it’s why the fediverse exists” did they ever stop to think that it’s a pain in the ass? Or that there’s going to be significantly fewer communities and users on other instances?

I am not finding my same communities outside of lemmy world due to the overall lower usage of lemmy. So we’re faced with switching instances to “fight the good cause” and have no content, or stay at Lemmy World.

Not everyone here is a ln Uber tech nerd that has all the time in the day to fuck around with this stupid site.

Saw that. Perhaps every community should instead defederate from lemmy.world. More server outages AGAIN today. Maybe they deserve to be attacked at this point.

Interesting your comparison with “imagine if a new user got to the page and couldn’t sign up” - honestly, that’s what they’re faced with now regardless of closing off sign ups.

You say being able to handle the load is not an issue - I understand that on a technical level, but at the same time, you can’t handle the load currently with the level of ddos attacks. That much is fact.

I know it’s hard to catch these fuckers and close exploits quickly, but let’s be honest here so far the methods have failed on LW’s part. These are 2010 levels of downtime.

Good, stay the fuck out! Stay in your own shit holes.

"my biggest regret is that I only have one upvote to give. " 🤢

Keep your crime and needle infested streets see if I give a shit. We’re headed towards balkanization anyways as it is. I don’t give a fuck about you just don’t live near me.

Aww gee, more bashing of the right by the tolerant left. If it weren’t for double standards liberals wouldn’t have any standards at all.
