I'm assuming this has something to do with the update to 19.4 that somehow messed up the Lemmy Crawler.
awesome-lemmy-instances seems to have a similar problem.
I don't think @lodion's information is correct because I remember seeing lemmy.ml in the instance filter list just a while ago.
Also: What does any of this have to do with the moderation of lemmy.ml? I also don't like their moderation but does that mean the instance and their communities shouldn't be visible on the Lemmy Explorer? Who should decide which instance should or should not be included on the list? If you want to avoid the instance like I do you can just use the filter to remove lemmy.ml communities on the community browser of the Lemmy Explorer.
Uhhhhhhh.........I don't know. I just got here a month ago. I spent May smoking so much weed that I do NOT remember the bulk of May. Including the days that led me to Lemmy.
All I know, is I went through a very bad time in late April. So I just said to myself "too much shit is going down. I don't even give a fuck anymore."
And so it was. I was baked out of my mind for like 3-4 weeks straight. I've never done that before, but honestly, I needed that.
And now that I'm sober, somehow I mostly know what I'm doing within my own bubble on lemmy, but I would NOT call myself an advanced power user of Lemmy.
I learned while high, and although I retained what I learned, I don't remember learning it.
So now this is a new thing about Lemmy. I know of https://browse.feddit.de/ but I don't know of fediverse explorer.
Explain the difference between the thing I linked, which I think I was told is the be all end all of Lemmy community searching, and this Fediverse Explorer?
I'm excited for this Fediverse. I'm all in on this. I love the seperation, the redundancy, the freedom. But I feel like I'm in kindergarten, and you guys are like "check out this algebra!"
I figured this all out and it was all my fault. I had a WAF rule blocking fediverse traffic on by accident and my instance had the allow list configured by me while stoned and I didn't realize that blocked everything that wasn't on it.
I'm on Lemmy.ml and am anything but a "tankie". Love it here. Tonnes of tech/varied posts in my main subscribed feed and I've never noticed anything other than a minimal dose of drama...Facebook or Reddit are much more toxic in comparison which is part of the reason I left those places.
Thanks for linking this, this is indeed more censorship than I have seen from other users and this does adjust my opinion of their censorship. Most of your comment is not entirely accurate (and weird as infrastructure is what the public uses) but this line does stand out
They should not have their entire population as slaves
Anyway I don't think that deserves a ban. Thanks for the heads up.
One could argue Americans are also slaves. Spam lists like this one. Japan is another Asian society with extreme workloads but they don't get these comments.
The standard of living has massive increased in China over the last 50 years. Their population has been worked to the bone, but it didn't just lead to nothing. We deem China to be almost a first world country. Often slightly worse but on the upper end of the second world. The rail infrastructure part is an example of what it did achieve which is why it's weird to "China bad" on that specific post.
Nonetheless I'd rather have seen a discussion than the mods just banning you.
