Usenet retention can be an issue, I think some providers have a cut off of over 15 years though.

Admittedly its more popular now so likely to have more modern stuff yes.

❤️ im glad people enjoy them :)

Apparently he is coming back to youtube soon

Bug fix for this was recently introduced, seems to specifically be reddit images.

https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/releases/tag/v0.5.23

Should be fixed going forwards :)

Please ping me directly if you do see anything like this in future!

Like mastodon in SSH (and yes, no blocking the line!)

Incredibly niche! :)

Probably why i like it so much.

Not seen one more detailed than this, although worth checking against fedidb.com - also, missing my new favourite from the list, stegodon (stegodon.social, stegodon.zip)

Which one? It probably doesn’t support avif format images, so I’ll get in contact and ask they add support

Are you using an app to access lemmy?

FYI these are all on ASN 49453

The other (lazier) option is to block/challenge the ASN

There’s only one solution - you’ll have to move countries 😉

Have spun this up on blorp.lemmy.zip and blorp.piefed.zip :)

Lemm.ee didn’t shut down because it was financially unsustainable though. It shut down because the admin team didn’t want to do it anymore.

Plenty of people have offered to take lemm.ee on and AFAIK nothing has progressed, but handled in a different way there could have been continuity and no need for users to transition away.

Given that the issue wasn’t one of finance and rather one of effort/will, how does charging for access change anything? The owner could decide they have had enough, walk away, and shut everything down anyway, no?

There is no need for us to defederate, the law is around accessing a specific website and the onligations to ensure the content on that website doesnt fall under the OSA.

It doesn’t matter where that content comes from, just that UK users don’t see specific content. Therefore we don’t show UK users any content.

That’s kind of a simplified summary, but hopefully makes sense.

It only impacts lemmy.zip because I am a UK resident and run the site, so am liable under the act. Otherwise I’d do what everyone else has done and ignore it.

I fully agree with you - I’m legally liable though under the act and am not risking fines.

Wow, that’s amazing 🥲

These days, join-lemmy is pretty good at narrowing down instances to match your likes.

Ahh, this is really sad. Lemm.ee was always an instance that shined brightly, and @sunaurus@lemm.ee has helped me out a couple of times.

Sad day indeed.

Now this is a conspiracy I can get behind.

I thought I was unique, I was the one. It was true love, man. To find out about this betrayal, breaks my heart.
