  • Just one thing to add, people freaking out is extremely uncommon. I haven’t even heard about a case IRL, even for trans people it isn’t something that tends to happen.

    Don’t be afraid to just guess when you are unsure, you can always ask though and at least for younger generations it isn’t seen as weird or unpolite to do so







  • “so I can still get the health benefits from it”

    Seriously, you aren’t getting healt benefits. You might feel better but that is the nicotine, it’s a psychological effect not something that is improving your physical health in any discernable way.

    Just understand, people don’t smoke because it’s good for their bodies, people smoke because it feels good, it’s an important distinction.






  • No one really knows, there are some plausible theories of negligence but in reality it is most probable the owner just decided to pull off the plug dince not only the server went down but the donation links did too.

    He didn’t tell anyone and no one has been in contact with him

    Like 3 days after the server went down there was a post on an investigation on what happened which made some discoveried and said they had some leads however there hasn’t been a follow-up to my knowledge


  • Vlemmy was a good one, although you are almost two weeks late with your question since it fell down :( (Although it was going to defederate with an instance the day before closing due to not wanting to host illegal content, for obvious reason)

    I would love for another one to sprung out, I myself am quite trigger happy with blocking people and communities (even instances through my app) so I would always be happier being the one shaping the content instead of another person doing it for me, regardless of if we would block the same instances at least I would know what I have blocked.

    I would probably never browse the local feed on an instance that intentionally never defederates though, the potential to jost a plethora of unsavory people is too high (although that hadn’t really happened with vlemmy, that instance was insanely good at that)






  • Another solution if you don’t want to turn them off completely is either to:

    • Join an instance that has lemmynsfw and its alternatives blocked.

    Or

    • Block them yourself, I don’t know how to do this on browser but if you use this site on mobile, the app “connect for lemmee” has an option to block all comments and posts from people of any instance you choose, which is a lot more effective than blocking communities separately.
