Yeah, that’s why I asked if they’re from the global south. Because most of the world do have to pay for SMS.

Unfortunately the block is intentional: https://lemmy.world/post/18275511
First the Luigi shit, and now this. I guess it’s time to migrate to a different instance.
Are you from the global south? Because it’s still a common thing for SMS to be chargeable in many countries. And no one should be using SMS anyway. It’s horribly insecure. At least use RCS.
no one was actually on it
It might feel that way at first, but my Mastodon feed is very robust nowadays. You just need to follow more people.
You can just open the Pixelfed links using your Mastodon instance:

To be fair, there are plenty of critical content. It’s just that they use coded language to avoid the censorship. (Probably not on XHS / RedNote though? It’s more of a Facebook equivalent.)
You don’t have to contact them anymore.
It’s an obvious cultural reference.

I’m way too lazy for that. I don’t even have more than 1 email account. I use the same username everywhere lol…
Uhh… The other dev. Yeah, he’s obviously wrong.
Reddit was literally co-founded by Aaron Swartz (RIP): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz
Source? I did a cursory search for “GDPR” on the GitHub issues and can’t find anything like that.
Anyway, this seems to be their more recent stance:
For the future, any GDPR compliance advice needs to come from a lawyer, not from random non-lawyers interpreting what they think is correct.

I actually use “Subscribed” because I don’t want to see posts from random communities. Haha…
I mean, personally I don’t disagree with that random person 😂
FWIW: I used join-lemmy.org and found lemmy.ml, submitted my registration, but then checked on Wikipedia and it says lemmy.world is the largest instance, so I wanted to cancel my registration for lemmy.ml (there’s no such feature according to the admin). Anyway, that’s how I ended up here on lemmy.world 😆
Did not notice any of the political leanings until just a few days ago, so it’s definitely not obvious unless you look deeper into things.

wow that’s interesting :D
you are aware that you aren’t restricted to things on your instance right?
I’m not new to the Fediverse, so yes, I’m aware of that, and also of the drama that comes with defederation (lmao)
also who cares how big an instance is?
I’d only choose to stick with the largest ones, as they have the highest chances of providing me with a sort of permanence.
Or in other words, they’re much less likely to just shut down without notice.
I don’t know. I just came across it yesterday, and I thought it’d be something interesting to share.
It was explained in the post’s body actually:
Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives.
Most of the people here know about the Lemmy devs political stances.
Seeing as I’ve only started using Lemmy less than a month ago, I’ve only just very recently started realizing that.
Honestly, I think federation is the wrong model. It should be P2P, with pinned content, like how IPFS works: https://docs.ipfs.tech/how-to/pin-files/
In other words, users shouldn’t have to live on instances and be subjected to the whims and fancies of the admins / server operators.
Or, a less radical change would be simply to allow cross-instance interaction, i.e. your “home” instance doesn’t have to host any of the content in question. You’d simply authenticate through OpenID Connect, and be able to interact as yourself on another instance.
Uhh… There is FEP-61cf: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/61cf/fep-61cf.md
