This is something I have never understood. How would you use this for moderation? I'm a moderator of the biggest community on this instance, c/piracy, and not once have I needed to look at people's voting behavior. What do you assess by looking at their votes? Which benefit does it provide for your moderation work? I find it quite weird that this feature exists in the first place. It just leads to mods behaving completely erratically, leading to cases like this https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/50067209
Thanks for your feedback, might be useful for other users
If I remember correctly you can download a profile from https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads#wireguard-configuration
You can choose if you want to use a free or premium server (obviously the premium server is only gonna work if you also have a premium subscription)
I think you can bypass this by using the WireGuard profile instead of their official app, haven't tried this for quite some time though
Hard disagree. Honestly, this would even be a compelling reason for me to leave this instance and spin up my own. I wanted to try out running an instance for quite some time now, and this would probably push me further toward that. That wouldn't have an impact on my moderation efforts, e.g. in c/piracy; there would be a smooth transfer.
little rant
Honestly, there are even more points that bother me about this instance. For example, the outright hate for cryptocurrency. Yeah, I'm aware of the anarchist theory of having no money or currency at all, but the first step is perhaps creating a better currency/money system with fewer inherent issues. It's hard to objectively judge whether crypto is better or worse per se, as there are always some positive and some negative aspects, but I don't understand why an anarchist instance pushes for a state-controlled, state-issued currency and hates decentralized attempts to create a currency controlled by the people. Sure, I don't like Bitcoin either, especially because of the privacy concerns, but Monero is a solid option with privacy/anonymity as a core design feature and an algorithm that makes using GPUs or ASICs unfeasible to try to democratize the mining process.
At the same time, the criticism of AI, a similarly controversial topic, is restricted by policy. This doesn't make sense to me. I neither love nor hate AI, and I neither love nor hate cryptocurrency, but I think we should be able to have healthy and constructive debates/discussions about both without any instance-wide restrictions.
User-level community blocking is not at all the same as instance-level defederation. It doesn't hide posts and comments from users of the blocked instance, instead it only hides the communities themselves from the search results.
I'm quite sure that this is by design, because the tankie devs who also run lemmy.ml know that otherwise half the fediverse would instantly block them on a user-level and they would become tiny and irrelevant, but it's harder to convince an entire instance to block lemmy.ml.
Please let me know if you ever find a good solution, I'd appreciate it
That’s very good to know, I usually research companies, their history, and their founders’ background, but I forgot it this time. I’m gonna delete this post, I don’t want to further promote war criminals.
