Again and again, I am very grateful that you keep this instance alive! <3

please reconsider and don't change yourself - you are unique and brought me, a lurker mostly, smiles everytime you post or comment :)

if people can't handle the real you, how you want to be, that's their loss

A sad day for this instance indeed.

While I am glad to hear that otherwise all federation goes on, only blocking the site directly for UK residents, the underlying issue still remains. I am not a UK citizen nor do I live in the UK, but it's just disappointing nonetheless.

Seconded, it's probably the fan. You can be sure, after checking oil and coolant of course, if it makes the same noise when cold at 6000 rpm (obv. don't do this for long, just enough to confirm whether or not it's RPM-related), then if first scenario didn't give the right indication, check if the bike makes said noise when the fan just kicks on.

While I agree with the message, that the people should leave all centralized Social Media services, the big mistake here is concentrating a massive user-base on one instance (.ml) of one specific service (Lemmy) instead of spreading the influx towards many smaller, but still solid instances and federated services (PieFed, Mastodon, MBin).

Even disregarding .ml's reputation, if this post does reach a substantial user-base, the only thing happening then is .ml receiving a HoD and people losing faith in the Fediverse as a whole (e: spelling) due to this, sadly. :c

Oh thank you! Had it on my phone without any notifications or anything else to tell me that!

Am an EU resident, so that's very worrisome to say the least.

Thanks for context!

I hope that as soon as the US will act more iffy, these countermeasures will kick in, as even the US should know then that they aren't all mighty.

I don't know if you have more info, but are these measures reversible or absolute?

in years

Yeah, depending on when you left "conventional social media", you missed out all of that.

That is the very same mechanism that, as of recent, censors/censored every mention and discussion of the Fediverse, alternative OSes, or any other way to fight back against these corporate forces. How dare people want to communicate freely and in their own way!?

Währenddessen Google die "pösen, pösen Adblocker" versucht zu bekämpfen, lassen diese teilweise sogar Malware, pure Scams und pornographische Inhalte als Werbung in YouTube zu... und ich dachte, wenn die Creator ein wenig fluchen, sind die Werbepartner abgeschreckt, auf der Plattform zu bleiben?

...warum sollte einer je 13€ für solch einen Unsinn abgeben, wenn diese Probleme offensichtlich blatant ignoriert werden?

Okay, I'm now hooked:

How?
