The hexbear.net instance went down, because the admins forgot to renew the domain name
(Technically the server was still running, but ~~federation~~ lemmy-stats-crawler works via domain names)
It originated somewhere here on Lemmy, can't find the original post, only a comment that references it: https://lemmy.zip/comment/10082020 (I know that this is not the original post/comment, because that commenter is on lemmy.zip, so they can't upload media to lemmy.dbzer0.com's pictrs instance)
I'm not saying this is a fact, or anything scientific (I'm sorry if it appeared that way), but I personally find it pretty accurate, and many people here agree
what instance i use? currently just using the account i previously made.
You can't access piracy communities like !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com from lemmy.world, so if you're interested in that, you need to switch
There's a diagram that illustrates this pretty well:
Is the meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works like an observatory of .ml shenanigans?
Yes, it was started as an observatory of lemmygrad.ml, but it's also relevant to lemmy.ml and hexbear.net (the Tankie triad). There are also !tankiejerk@lemmy.world, which just focuses on all kinds of tankies from all instances, !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which focuses on disinformation (again, from all instances) and !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which focuses on moderator overreach (for all instances). It's also the official, approved and recommended way of complaining about mod action here on lemmy.dbzer0.com.
I once saw a comment by a European explaining American politics to another European.
“Their left is our right, their right is our far right, and their far right are literal flag waving Nazis.”
I'm skeptical about Ladybird, that's why I have such high hopes for Servo
They disable it by default, because it requires the execution of proprietary code, but you can reenable it.
Using this as an opportunity to promote the LibreWolf community on Lemmy: !librewolf@lemmy.ml as well as their new Mastodon account: @librewolf@chaos.social
I'm not affiliated with them btw
You mean the Email relay? There are great alternatives like SimpleLogin or Addy.io. Both have their own browser extensions, but you can also connect them to Bitwarden and use that for browser integration.
