Then yeah, they're probably blocking it out somehow. I'm not sure though. If anyone else knows how Lemmy works in this way, feel free to chime in.

I don't think they can. I'm not sure if communities can block instances, though.

While we're on the topic of search engines, both @Disabled@burggit.moe and I run our own Searx instances. Mine is https://searx.burger.rodeo his is https://searx.shota.services

Oh good you found it, thanks. I was using the wrong keywords when searching their GitHub.

No spaces either. Can use capitals and spaces in the "Display name" field.

E: typo

Be sure you're not using capital letters in the "Name" field.

You're right. The cat's missing those stupid looking glasses.

I was working on the API but the way federation works here is pants on head retarded so I guess I can't do that...

Right. This will never be used against anyone on this local instance. Do note that nothing here is ever truly deleted and that everything is just "marked" as deleted. I'd imagine this is so admins can take action against someone who's stirring up some shit and can hold said people accountable.

If you don't like this fact, then Lemmy is not the right choice for your social media needs. Since all instances do this. It's not unique to us.

I just now looked to see if "deleted" posts get deleted from the DB via an automatic scheduled cleanup task and they do after 30 days per: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3208

My mentality is that I'm already going into the DB to undelete communities since those who delete their accounts automatically wind up deleting the owned communities with it (I know, it's stupid) and reset user's passwords who request it. Since we don't have an email server. While they're just password hashes that don't mean anything, this "is" sensitive info nonetheless and I feel uncomfortable seeing this data.

Anyways, I saw this post from a person who isn't even from this instance, and the post they made minutes after @Disabled@burggit.moe politely responded to him where they were trying to get us defederated. This was hours after I found out we were defederated from a big instance, for which I was still feeling slightly miffed about.

This guy was exhibiting average Redditor vibes and I just had to shit on him since he'd naturally be used to a typical Reddit mod materializing out of nowhere and making the bad man (me) go away immediately with a permaban.

He proved he was an average Redditor by deleting his post and trying to clear any evidence of shitting all over someone's house. And I just needed to put it on display just what he said and tried to do. This guy is an average Redditor. Let's all point and laugh!

Anyways, this was a rare unique case where someone from a different instance came in here into a positive thread and shit it up and try to get us blocked from their instance and I just couldn't let him get away with pulling their typical Reddit bullshit.

Sorry for rambling.

LOL

Pretty unhealthy myself foodwise, and sleep-wise. And heart disease runs in my family. :X

To a certain degree, yes. Rofl. This one made me laugh.

Sadly, I think this is the most accurate.

Shit this should've went under Ask Burggit. Oh well.

Yeah, I'm really glad that I didn't get a Pixel. Because I was going to get it for this very reason. Having software releases controlled by a schizo does not appeal to me at all.

Or the used panties vending machine.

It really checks out with how excessively formal the Japanese tend to be.

Ooh. I think I know what one you're talking about rofl. That giant assed phone with like 50 knobs and switches?

Dunno how I didn't notice this post, but I replied so I can assure you the nazi bar thing wont happen. We find those types super insufferable and they're usually a hairpin's trigger away from being mean and shitty to others, which we've addressed that in our rules. There's plenty of places to get your culture war fix, we don't want this place to turn into yet another site that peddles that tensions inflaming garbage.

We do allow humor that some say would be politically incorrect, but if it's anything close to calling for violence against a group of people regardless of gender or race, or if they're directing those jokes at someone for which they asked them to stop, and they continue, then they're not welcome here.

Not to mention that us allowing loli/shota/cub content acts as a forcefield around us keeping those types at bay.

Hope you enjoy your stay here.
