I also want to mention this happened at 2 or 3 AM EST, which only had 2 admins on, me and the hoster. I should've made a post, but given the severity, lack of info, and lack of staff members, we both decided to shut it down immediately until it was patched. I personally apologize for the downtime but I hope it's understandable why we did it this way. In case something like this happens again, I'll post it in the FMHY Divolt server.

Defederating from people who support bombing innocent people is not censorship 🤦

Doesn't seem like it's the majority of users or people on the instance. From nbats on disc:
I just need more proof they're actually super malicious because most of the stuff linked was downvoted on exploding. in other words yeah shitheads exist there, but they don't seem to be the majority really
EDIT: after some further discussion we've decided to defederate. we'll be making a post sometime soon with a defederation policy.

If you guys can link some bad posts that are actively encouraged by the instance then I'll add it to the blocked list. (This is why it isn't blocked right now - all I've heard is that it's just right wing, which doesn't constitute a block.)

Even if it was the greatest article in all of existence, that doesn't mean you can spam it across several communities and make alts for it.

Yeah I asked you to post what you wanted to #Requests, and since you didn't respond I figured I'd ask you here 😅 All of the exclusive Mustard videos should be there. LMK if there's anything I'm missing.

Those two seem pretty slow regardless, but you're right, that's not a big difference, so it could work... really, though, the main hurdle is popularity. Unless you're operating like a private tracker (which is no fun), it's going to be very hard to get both uploaders and users to it. You'll have to somehow get a lot of people interested, starting without any content (or if you're an uploader yourself, not a lot of content), not a lot of recognition, on a relatively new platform. With the added bonus of it being harder to access.

As in tor links don't show up on regular search engines (like Google, DDG, etc.) It's how most people find piracy sites.
Also, aren't downloads incredibly slow? I know regular browsing is so I'd imagine downloads would be slower.

Hey there, do you mind if you can post what else you want over in the Requests channel? I'll be happy to rip them whenever I'm free.

Hi, yes, this is a very good server, no bias whatsoever 😊
We do Originals, Plus, and First content. Podcasts can be requested but I'll have to do those manually. Sometime soon we'll also be doing Curiosity Stream, HD nebula videos (non-exclusive content but higher bitrate than on youtube), and classes (whenever yt-dlp adds support for it.) Plus a bot to automatically do requests :)
I also have a release group there called iDoISO, where we do full ISO rips of 4K and BluRay discs and "lossless" MKVs (basically no encoding whatsoever.) We don't have a lot of releases for them right now (it's pretty pricey even for a few 4Ks) but I've put a lot of time and attention to each release, so please take a look :)
If you have any questions or feedback don't hesitate to reach out to me! (Either here, on Divolt, or over DMs!)
EDIT: oh also we have a discord server if you don't like Divolt, just know that all the links are under b64 and idoiso isn't on it.

Closest thing would be the Usenet, which is paid. (Decently cheap, but still.)
Seedboxes and DMCA ignore VPS's exist, which is how a lot of DDLs and streaming sites live. You can also encrypt it before uploading (although you'll have to decrypt it afterwards.) For archiving, Telegram has 2GB file limits but is free and unlimited total storage.

I wonder why something like that hasn't become a thing and gotten big.
Not only is tor not used by the majority of pirates, it also limits speeds by a lot. Not to mention you can't index onion links in search engines. But I mean, you wouldn't need a VPN with it, so...

Well the only possibility is that it's a DNS or VPN issue, cause like Kai said, we haven't had any downtime, let alone one that lasts hours at a time.

If you have dev experience you can get in touch with us over on Divolt :) Otherwise the best way to improve FMHY is to help with the wiki. We have a #to-do channel on our server which is a great starting point.
As for project ideas specifically for FMHY, I don't have any rn. We have a billion backups and projects like Divolt and Lemmy are additive (and really made for the whole community rather than just FMHY.) But maybe some of the other folks here have some ideas.

Basically. If you go to a certain website, that's one instance, and if you go to another website (that's also on Lemmy), that's a different one.
Are you sure you're talking about this one (And you're on this site?) Double checked it isn't your own internet? By "down" do you mean some posts don't work, all posts, or you can't access the site at all? Also, are you far from where the server is hosted from, which is Europe?
idk if this counts as a mech but it looks cool ok
Only available for the iPhone 4S for now, with more device support planned. Both released roughly the same time, with the 4S coming out on October 2011, and iOS 5.1 on March 2012. https://github.com/eatingurtoes/g1lbertCFW
Divolt has roughly 50k, in case you're wondering.
Prepare for a large influx of users lol
Revolt is doing the complete opposite of Discord, and is transitioning from unique usernames to discriminators + nicknames. More proof that Revolt is the top chat platform :D
I think we all know about this, you're on Lemmy after all. From newest to oldest: * [Some subreddits now going NSFW to prevent ads and protest (lol)](https://nsaneforums.com/news/technology-news/some-subreddits-are-now-filled-with-porn-to-protest-reddit-r16457/) * [r/ModCoord post on alternate forms of protest, in light of staff forcing subreddits open](https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14cr2is/alternative_forms_of_protest_in_light_of_admin/) * [News post about Advertisers on Reddit weathering the protest](https://www.adweek.com/social-marketing/ripples-through-reddit-as-advertisers-weather-moderators-strike/) * [r/ModCoord post on indefinite and temporary blackouts](https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/148ks6u/indefinite_blackout_next_steps_polling_your/) * [spez assures people that protests haven't hurt revenue](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/06/reddit-ceo-assures-employees-that-api-protests-havent-hurt-revenue/) * [RedDark, a website that lets you see how many subreddits have gone dark.](https://reddark.untone.uk/) * [spez's (Reddit CEO's) post on API changes](https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api/) * [iamthatis's (Apollo Dev's) post on shutting down](https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/) * [talklittle's (RIF Dev's) post on shutting down](https://old.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/144gmfq/rif_will_shut_down_on_june_30_2023_in_response_to/) * [LibReddit's post on API changes](https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/785) More links and detailed info to be added later.
TL;DR: YouTube sends a Cease and Desist email to the Invidious team for API abuse (even though they don't use the API.) [Source](https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3872) I also want to point out (since nobody else has) that YT has done shenanigans like this in the past. Invidious is not going down without a fight.  # UPDATE As of 2 weeks ago, [Google has begun blocking multiple instances](https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3822) from accessing their services. [This also includes my own instance](https://ggtyler.dev/other/frontends) and appears to be done alongside the C&D. (Note: I have not received one yet.) I'm currently playing whack & mole with Google and will be moving between several different servers. Some others are going through IPv6 addresses (which didn't work for me.)
This pinned post is currently a stub and will be expanded upon sometime in the future. Probably.
