Just make an account on a different instance. That’s a lot easier than making one of your own.

I’d recommend either Sh.itjust.works, sopuli.xyz, Lemmy.ca, or Lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Sopuli is primarily Finnish, and Lemmy.ca Canadian, but both state that they’re open and welcoming to all.

I’m on sh.itjust.works and it’s been great.

The problem is that these communities never linked to any form of illegal content. It’s against their rules to do so. So no laws were being broken.

…you realize there are dozens of other instances right? Nobody has to make another one lol, you can just join one of the others.

Nobody’s linking anything

So what? Do people really care that much about Lemmy’s karma points? Making an account on a different instance is pretty much a non issue.

Whoa wait wtf, they blocked a mushroom community? I didn’t hear about that

Lemmy.ca users have been saying that anyone’s welcome, regardless of where they’re from. Sopuli.xyz is really solid too, and also welcomes everyone.

I’m on sh.it just.works and have enjoyed it a lot. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter a whole lot though, you can still join all the communities you did before. So which instance you choose isn’t a massive deal.

You mean that screenshot showing the one instance of it ever happening? It broke the rules of the community and was taken down.

Believe it or not, I do respect their decision. After all, this is their instance and it’s their right to decide what to do with it.

This is also a complete overreaction started by a transphobic troll account, that doesn’t actually protect anyone from anything. Both can be true.

That community never linked to pirated content, you goose

But again, they’re not even linking to any pirated content, torrents or otherwise.

Smart, might as well shut down this whole thread then as we’re discussing piracy here too, right?

What content? You mean the comments generally discussing piracy? Because there’s no actual pirated content being hosted, or even linked to, in that community.

Discussing piracy isn’t illegal. It would be one thing if they were hosting pirated content, but they don’t even link to anything.

If that were to change I’d understand the decision, but this just seems silly to me.

Exactly this. I think the real problem is that “infinite” is virtually impossible to comprehend, so people regularly misunderstand what it means and how it works.

What? No, they speak New Mexican

Where did it seem like I was upset?

IOS has no such feature, what’re you talking about? This is exclusive to Reddit, and technically Apollo as a donation system. Apple didn’t make this, and it’s not a system level feature. Reddit made this, and you access this nonsense within their own app.

Also, congrats, you now know an Android user who cares about what their device looks like. I’m genuinely surprised I’m the first though, as the level of customization Android offers makes for an ideal place for those looking to customize the look of their device.

Btw try not to use so many strawman arguments in the future. I never said people used third party launchers exclusively to change icons, for example. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional, but figured I’d let you know regardless.

I’m confused, are you saying you don’t care about the icons at all? Like if they all look like complete ass you wouldn’t mind?

I’m also confused as to why you singled out IOS users, as Android literally has a built in system to change each and every icon yourself for free. If nobody cared that wouldn’t exist.
