Windows: “We dropped support for that thing you bought brand new 5 years ago”

Linux: “We are considering dropping support for something that has existed for longer than you had”

I’m pretty sure that Lynx does not

On a similar scale, but with consequences like zeroing out savings and maxing out credit cards of several dozens of millions of people or violence for political views/sexual preferences/etc on the same scale. Basically, something that will make a large number of people learn about the importance of privacy the hard way.

Not until there is a massive data breach that leads to very serious and obvious real world consequences

I think it was in UCEPROTECT-Level2 or UCEPROTECT-Level3 a couple of times, but it wasn’t an issue because these are a subnet and ASN level blacklists that offer paid “whitelisting”, so no sane person uses these abominations anyway. My emails can sometimes end up in a Spam folder for whatever reason, but I don’t recall ever having them completely bounced.

It’s just not something you want to deal with because you’ll spend hours dealing with blacklists, spam, government requests and other BS.

What should I do to get all these? Am I hosting my mail server in a wrong way?

Defederating just for the sake of defederating is, of course, something extraordinary. But having a reason to defederate != having legitimate reason to defederate. After all, instance admins are not almighty gods with infallible moral compasses, they are just humans.

Then we need enough communities and users outside of big player instances. The power is in our own hands.

Also, if they still do implement whitelists and make an application process more than just asking nicely, refer to my previous comment.

Could also just buy a cheap VPS and just use that for just the Lemmy instance so I wouldn’t need a VPN

You can rent a VPS and host VPN on it

If they would go as far as to defederate with your specific instance, you should seriously reconsider whether their instance or their community actually have any value to you

what if there’s a nipple, and cum is still on its way in the air?

Going through suggested lists I can count the instances that have the reason “spam” on my fingers, doesn’t seem to be actually useful (or intended to be) against spam

So basically centralized cenzorship for decentralized Fediverse?

This is so good!. Haven’t even updated yet, and I already see a lot more posts from lemmy.ml on my instance, and no more “Subscribe Pending”
