From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS) to keep your block list up to date (github.com)

Hi all, I'm a Lemmy FOSS app contributor that's made a couple of tools for people starting small instances including Lemmy Community Seeder (LCS) for building content on new server's All Feeds and Lemmy Post Purger (LPP) for clearing old posts on smaller instances.

Today I'm releasing Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS). When launching a new Lemmy instance, administrators may not understand the necessity of defederation with problem instances. Using LDS, you can sync your instance's "blocked instance" list with that of another server(s) whose admins you trust.

Email blocklists are based on spam and malware.

I've never heard of an email operator refusing to send or deliver SMTP messages to/from a certain provider because too many of its users support the wrong political party.

I haven't heard of users or instances getting banned/blocked for supporting the wrong political party either unless racism, brigading, CP, and death threats are core tenets of said party, which leads me to believe you may be referring to the Republican party in the US?

As usual, the American can't see anything beyond their little island, also, in case you didn't know, tankie servs get routinely defederated, and it's not for their racism/transphobia or whichever big word is so easy to brandish when angry

So now you also claim to know the private thoughts and motivations of Lemmy instance admins? What a special and unique ability you possess. I'm surprised you're wasting your telepathic talent on this and not using it to get rich.

it's called reading around, it's like watching tiktoks but with text, though it requires some form of context guessing which will be a challenge since the conversations you can read online are not always directed at you

Well you 'read around' when you read my comment so you must be in agreement with me now, no? Isn't that how it works or do you only believe the things that confirm your preconceived notions?

The fact that you use "TikToks with texts" as your analogy kinda confirms my suspicions that it's the latter.
