Aaaand... it's gone.

Now it's back.

Now it's gone.

This is why I have a lemmy.ca login too.

Screenshot this and attach it as a request for citizenship exception.

It's almost like you can sign up without being from Canada

[–] favrion@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But nothing would be relevant.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, that's because it's in Canada. Nothing relevant ever comes from there except Celine Dion and maple syrup.

Legit though, are you under the assumption that the instance only allows Canadian related communities? There's all kinds of C/s on there that aren't about Canada. And that doesn't matter with lemmy (much) in the first place. It only matters if you exclusively want to use the local feed. Your subscriptions feed doesn't have to be from that instance, and the all feed gives you access to anything anyone there has access to. As soon as you search for a community, the whole instance gets access to it via federation. I figure you're joking, but just in case you weren't, what instance you're from doesn't limit your feeds to a significant degree (usually).

[–] favrion@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wasn't joking, but I didn't want to feel like I was intruding as a stupid American.

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Canadians are Americans too.

[–] favrion@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I mean a USA American, the stereotypical jingo.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dig that for sure!

Afaik, they don't mind at all. I know there's a ton of American users there as it is, so if they mind, they're not minding out loud lol

[–] favrion@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My final decision is no. I'll stay out of their business.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

Nothing wrong with that :)

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Man how many alts do you have ha ha. Everytime I see your username it's a different domain

[–] favrion@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's the same username for each instance. Does nobody else do that?

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

I do the same to be honest

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

No … my alts always have different names. But they are for things I don’t want others to know.

[–] BitSound@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's working for me, posting this from lemmy.world

[–] abominabledrh@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I doubt they gave up. Probably under attack again.

[–] magnetosphere@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

I feel bad for the admins. That must be annoying AF.

[–] thecam@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I am on it right now.

However they have had some issues lately which is detailed in this post

@thecam This link struggled to load and did so incompletely.

Here is an archive.org cap someone made yesterday: https://web.archive.org/web/20230809182416/https://lemmy.world/post/2923697

Great posts. Sounds like the fascists are mad that they don't get access to the largest instance without having to follow it's rules.

Fascists are everywhere on that instance and they preemptively banned the leftist instance from federation. Lemmy.world is easily the most fascist friendly of the major instances

[–] Bloodwoodsrisen@lemmy.tf 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I ended up creating an alt account on lemmy.blahaj.zone because lemmy.tf was down, so now I have two accounts with the same username wirh one as a back up

[–] favrion@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It should always be the same username.

[–] victron@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

This guy Lemmys

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Doesn’t blahaj.zone itself throw errors all the time?

[–] Bloodwoodsrisen@lemmy.tf 1 points 2 years ago

At the time Blahaj worked and tf didnt

I know they were going to start using Cloudflare, which will handle DDOS among other things. Not sure if they have started yet.
