+1 to this. I’ve noticed that posts haven’t been federating in !tampabaylightning@fanaticus.social either for the past several days.

You do realize that many people on this instance participate in blahaj.zone communities, right? Why call people ‘weirdos’ for actually caring about how the communities and instances which they interact with are ran?
I feel like you’re being unnecessarily inflammatory here. People are entitled to discuss whatever they want to when it comes to the Fediverse in this community, and this topic falls well within that category. No need to attack people for sharing their opinions on the matter.
Ah, the good ol’ ‘administrator discretion’. Seems like a classic case of power-tripping site admins doubling down on their opinion while disregarding any notion that they may be in the wrong. Can’t say I’m surprised - it was only a matter of time before we saw this kind of behavior in the threadiverse.
Regardless of how you may feel about NSFW content on Lemmy, this is a huge red flag for lemmy.blahaj.zone, and I would advise against people joining that instance purely based on the admins’ apparent inability to properly investigate or understand the content that they federate with. Hopefully they can clarify their rules in the near future and justify why exactly this defederation happened, or reverse their decision, swallow a little bit of pride, and admit they were in the wrong.
EDIT: More admin correspondence can be found here.
Very ‘my way or the highway’ behavior from the blahaj.zone admins. Really not a good look.
AFAIK, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml use it because the ml can also stand for “Marxist-Leninist”, and the two primary maintainers of Lemmy are Marxist-Leninists . Not sure about the others though.

This might be one of the best concepts using Jellyfin that I’ve seen to date. From a UX standpoint, it would pass the infamous family/wife test for sure. Insanely nice work.
Is the USA a “functioning” state with all the oppression, racism, greed, invading other countries out of monetarian interest and environment destruction?
I hope you realize that this is an incredibly privileged take. The US is rife with issues, but the hardships experienced by the average western citizen doesn’t even compare to the suffering that you would find in, say, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, or (to a less extreme extent) Maduro’s Venezuela. To compare what a US citizen deals with on a daily basis due to capitalism to what a citizen of any of those countries had to go through is very reductive and may be perceived as disrespectful to many who had to live those experiences.
Seems like onboarding will be handled by a bot, so I imagine it shouldn’t really matter what instance you’re using. As for instances that are “Joining in”, I think that just refers to Admins for those instances promoting the event.
