Are there any right-wing instances that stuck around and didn’t move to another platform? I know at least one left for Nostr.

History of Lemmy

Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this

How much do you know about the history of Lemmy?

No, instance A sees no comments/posts by instance B users regardless of if it’s on instance C.

For example, Beehaw defederated my instance.

They could be commenting all through this thread and I’d never know.

Edit: okay technically not here because they defederated LW too.

Edit2: so to be clear, if your instance defederated/blocked dot ml then they wouldn’t be able to interact with your content at all, votes, posts, anything.

Gotta be this

It predates YouTube and would loop forever.

But here unfavourable admins don’t run the whole show. On reddit if you didn’t like the admins you’re out of luck entirely. Here they only control one slice of the pie.

What are you trying to share?

Yeah, I do feel like the screenshot doesn’t really back up the headline.

Have you ever considered the possibility that installing an ad blocker while watching YouTube videos could lead to your Google account being suspended? While such a measure has yet to be enforced, Google appears to be subtly signaling that account bans may be a potential course of action.

Since the beginning of 2024, Google has been actively cracking down on users who employ ad blockers to bypass YouTube advertisements. When the platform detects ad-blocking activity, it prompts users with a notification urging them to either subscribe to YouTube Premium or disable their ad blocker.

Now, Google is intensifying its efforts against ad-blocking tools. According to screenshots shared by Reddit users, the warning message has been updated with a more severe tone:

As per YouTube’s Terms of Service, accounts that repeatedly or egregiously violate the platform’s policies may be temporarily or permanently suspended. While the notification does not explicitly state that using an ad blocker will result in an account ban, the warning that such activity constitutes a violation of the terms suggests that suspensions could be a plausible consequence.

It is undeniable that Google’s new warning carries an undertone of intimidation. However, at least for now, no reports have surfaced of users being banned solely for using ad blockers. It remains possible that Google’s intent is merely to deter users rather than implement outright account suspensions.

Should Google ultimately decide to enforce bans on accounts using ad blockers, it could lead to a significant number of suspensions, potentially causing a decline in YouTube’s traffic and user base. On the other hand, a temporary suspension policy might serve as a sufficient deterrent, prompting many users to reconsider their reliance on ad-blocking tools.

oh boy

I don’t know how to answer this succinctly and I’m sure you’ll get plenty of thorough answers quite soon anyway.

Wouldn’t it be better to track this on another instance?

How so?

Agreed, but the proportion of users that contributed and made it a positive experience there was significantly smaller.

Quality over quantity.

I thought MissKey was more popular in Japan?

I think so

Moderating across instances hasn’t worked well but will be fixed in next release.
