From what I've seen on other posts about this, it's simply a current bug in the system. If it shows Subscribe Pending, you're subscribed successfully, that button just still shows pending even though it's working as it should. And you'll only see this on subs on other federated instances, not on your own.

I honestly have no idea why bidets haven't taken off in the US. After travelling to other countries though, had to buy one for my home toilet. And now I hate having to poop elsewhere where there's no bidet.

I'm starting to. Trying to force myself to use this one more.

Or it will just kill Beehaw because they're now cut off from most of the other larger lemmy instances. Unless their users are just super loyal for some reason. If I were a member there I would have already jumped ship.

Yeah, I'm kind of wondering where this data is coming from... for instance it lists /r/sysadmin moved to sysadmins.zone... but who decided that? There's literally nothing about that website anywhere on /r/sysadmin on reddit, and that page only has like 20 users on it whereas the sysadmin community here on lemmy has around 1,500 people on it.

This page on Torrent Galaxy has become my RARBG replacement. Shows new releases without having to sort through all the garbage.

I'm confused on how this works... I'm on lemmy.world, and they list that as a blocked instance on that page... But I can still access beehaw communities no problem from here.

I'll definitely hang around for a while and see how things go. If the hype dies down after a month or two... don't know then.

Apparently they can block specific communities from other instances though, which is what they have done in this case.

It's the beauty, but I can also see how it could end up being a negative. So one instance blocks two other instances you like. So you move to a new instance that doesn't. But then it turns out that new instance blocks two different ones that you also like. Can you imagine how as things grow, and with so much potential for selective blocking like this, it could quickly become quite a maze to simply find a place to browse the ENTIRR community, without having to deal with multiple logins across multiple instances?

I don't want QAnon conspiracies. That's not what I'm even asking here. These subs are general conspiracy theory communities though. Not QAnon junk.

I did. But while he says society has amnesia, he hasn't fully thought some things through himself. First, he compares to the Sony XP 10 phone. However... That phone has a non removable battery as well. So he screwed that up. Then he compares to the S5. The S5 has 1) a much smaller battery than today's phones, 2) an older and smaller radio, 3) and is something like 15% thicker than the S22, and 4) the S5 was IP67 certified when most devices these days are IP68.

Some concessions will have to be made and they'll have to come from somewhere.

There's maybe one or two posts of a political nature in there, but the vast majority of the posts have nothing to do w/ any of that type stuff and are just general conspiracy-related posts. So it seems pretty heavy-handed for lemmy.world to simply completely block both communities, IMO.

Okay, there you go?

Well, yeah, but is that really how instances are going to handle moderation? A single post they don't like in a community on another instance and they just block that entire community from their instance? Seems pretty heavy handed.

Not sure how on mobile, but on the computer you would have to visit a different instance in order to view one of those communities, and of course if you want to actually participate in it, you would have to create a second Lemmy login on that new instance.

Go look in those communities. There's MAYBE one post I can see you could consider "QAnon" type stuff. The rest are just general conspiracy related posts.

Oh, yes, because the opinions are different than yours, they're automatically vile, filled with hate, and I'm a bigot.

It's sad how closed minded and small people like you are.

How about this... why don't you show me some of these examples of vile, hate-filled bigotry elsewhere that are hiding behind the scary banner of "free speech"? Can you give me a few examples of this vile, hate-filled bigotry you're referring to that is apparently so prevalent?

I said in my post that unless there's rules elsewhere I'm just not seeing, the rules on the main instance sidebars for #3 simply say "no porn". So what does that have to do with conspiracy theory communities?

Yes, I know, opposing viewpoints are something small little minds like your own can't possibly tolerate. Now run back to your safe space where everyone agrees with you and gives you constant validation!

I'm aware. But when I look at server rules that simply don't apply what-so-ever to the community removals, and these being some of the largest Lemmy instances out there currently, it just makes me concerned about the moderation currently going on.

Well the more worrying part is someone in another response said this was the lemmy.world mods banning those subs from appearing on lemmy.world.

Makes me wonder about lemmy honestly. They're making it very difficult to find an instance that is 1) reliable, 2) open to free speech and thought. With instances randomly blocking others, blocking certain communities, etc...

I mean, am I going to have to spin up my own instance just to browse Lemmy without random censorship of other instances and communities?
