Started out on the fmhy.ml just prior to the .ml debacle. On lemmy.world now, but they have just started banning piracy communities. The new fmhy instance, of course, has already died before I got to try it.

sigh Married pasty male looking for lemmy instance that:

Has some decent uptime / Reliable / Not on a fly by night top level domain
Hates Nazi's and doesn't hesitate to ban, block and defederate such crap
Tolerant of piracy communities and federations
Oh, and will let me see comments in the Technology community. That isn't working for me here.

Suggestions welcome.

dbzer0 has the largest piracy community and should meet all your needs

[–] lars@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Is there fediverse reciprocity? I mean, can users on those instances subscribe to sublemmits on this instance, or is that blocked, too?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

sublemmits

oh please don't

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Lemmy.world hasn't defederated dbzer0. Lemmy.world just doesn't want to host pirate communities.

So, you can login to lemmy.world, then search, subscribe and interact with pirate dbzer0 communities.

[–] Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

This is not entirely correct. lemmy.world hasn't defederated from dbzer0, but it has blocked it's largest piracy community.

[–] ZeroXHunter@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I tried it, I cannot access it https://photon.lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

maybe this is the simplest answer to your question...

here is your comment as viewed from dbzer0 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1959063

here is this lemmy.world community as viewed from dbzer0 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/fediverse@lemmy.world

so everything is still working in that direction

seems like lemmy.world only blocked communities though, I think if you fully block an instance then you won't send or receive anything with it?

for comparison I used https://radiation.party/c/programmer_humor@programming.dev and it doesn't show anything new there because programming.dev has them blocked

sh.itjust.works is great, cause it actually does just work.

So far they meet all your criteria (except for defederating extremists, we hold democratic votings about it unless its something against the laws where we are hosted)

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, defederating **right wing ** extremists is important to me.

[–] Rossel@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Exploding Heads is ~~federated~~ defederated by democratic vote.

Responsive admins on matrix and run on renewable energy too.

I'd love to make an account there, but the confirmation email is broken apparently. Can't login.

Fellow pirates come take a look at lemmy.dbzer0.com.

I mean, what better place to find safe harbor other than Port Royal itself?

Host your own instance and you can control what you federate and defederate with.

Otherwise you’re probably not going to find an instance that fits all of your wants.

You’ll probably just want to join a piracy geared instance as your home instance if that’s important to you.

[–] Amaltheamannen@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Problem is that selfhosting makes it significantly harder to be anonymous when everyone can see your IP with a trivial lookup. Or I guess you could rent a VPS instead of running it locally.

I moved from lemmy.world to Lemm.ee as a backup, seems that it's going to be my main for a time, I don't discard searching for another, on the top of my mind probably lemmy.zip and lemmings.world are good alternatives.

[–] aquarisces@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I have an alt on https://sh.itjust.works/ because I like that it’s powered by 99% renewable energy. I did attempt to sign up for Aussie.zone too but I think that’s still awaiting approval.

EDIT: Oh yeah and I do have an account on kbin.social as well

You(and everyone else) are welcome at endlesstalk.org.

I prioritize uptime and have setup monitoring to notify, if anything goes down(See here). I have no problem banning/defederating Nazi's and the like, but I generally don't take action unless, an instance/users aren''t following the rules. I'm open for requests and discussion though.

Currently I'm the only admin, but I'm in the process of changing the setup of the site, so other admins would be able to fix the site, if anything should happen.

Lemmy.ca meets your requirements, and you don't need to be Canadian to join. We welcome all!

[–] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

I'd suggest lemmy.ca also.

Before I made my account here I was doing research to see if I was going to start my own instance or not. I had very similar requirements as yours but also some around security, patching, and long walks on the beach.

Honestly, the lemmy.ca admins (including Shadow) seem to know their stuff. They're active on github, patch regularly, and actually care about the community. As an end user, everything I could ask for. <3

lemmy.sdf.org I wouldn't even have bothered signing up for Lemmy if I hadn't seen them on the list of suggested instances.

[–] peyotecosmico@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this might help you.

I remember there was another where you put your opinions (agree, don't care, disagree) about those bullet points and it throws you a list of instances but I didn't save it sorry.

Thank you, everyone. Found my new home. What was odd was that this thread I created (Hi, I'm also HR_Pufnstuf) experienced the same problem with all threads in the Technology community... where I can't see any of the comments except my own. Luckily I was able to find all your comments in my inbox. After visiting all your wonderfull suggestions, save for the kbin's, I've chosen to settle here. I'll keep the lemmy.world around as a backup.

Also, wanna say the default theme here is pretty slick

Again, thanks everyone. I appreciated the feedback!

PseudoSpock / HR_Pufnstuff

Edit: I had a typo in my sig of PseudoSpock I just fixed. That typo had made it offensive and I am VERY sorry!

[–] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Rather than throw you a list of all instances, how about I just give you a suggestion

https://kbin.social

In my experience it seems to fit all points on your list

[–] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Isn't that the instance that had the admin who threw a fit about the NSFW lemmy? And doubled-down when it was pointed out they were wrong? The whole point is he wants an instance where people aren't gonna defederate for stupid reasons.

I'm on programming.dev , the local communities are about programming stuff. Haven't noticed any blocked instances thus far from here. Can interact with beehaw, dbzer0 and everywhere else.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 year ago

Oh I see lemmy.dbzer0.com has already been suggested

[–] zoe@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

any reliable instance will do (lemm.ee, divbyzero, discuss.tchncs.de,..) filter undesired instances using connect or sync. done.

[–] RavenFellBlade@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.blahaj.zone, startrek.website, sh.itjust.works are all good.

[–] Cannizzaro@feddit.ch 7 points 1 year ago

Try feddit.ch it's hosted in switzerland and is good for privacy. it has 100% uptime too. also no need for an email to signup
