posting csm, or something else of that nature.

Fosstodon are just as vigilant against that kind of stuff, so I’d be surprised if it went under their radar and was posted to lemmy.world, but none of the other big mastodon instances had that problem.

Lol I’m def not a reposting bot (I know, something a bot would say). I just accidentally screenshotted further down the page than I intended and it left out more recent posts by this admin.

Is this referring to kbin.social, or do all kbin instances work this way?

Ah didn’t even notice it at the bottom, good catch!

What makes those block lists uncomfortable for you, genuinely curious?

hugbox (slang, derogatory) An environment or thing which validates or reinforces a limited set of feelings or ideas.

First time I’ve seen that term used, and it’s a great way to describe what websites like beehaw are haha. They’re free to moderate their community as they see fit, just saying that’s an accurate way to describe their community values.

Torrent search engines that crawl the DHT seem like they’d be the least likely to be taken down, as they don’t host any torrent files or run their own trackers, they simply crawl the torrent DHT directly for magnet links.

Here are my two favorite DHT-based torrent search engines:

• https://bitsearch.to
• https://btdig.com

The only way I could see things going south is if corporations start buying popular instances

It’s not quite the same, but Meta/Instagram is working on a Twitter competitor that will use ActivityPub and therefore is essentially one huge Fediverse instance that they’re launching.

Cool! Good to know
