Meta community to discuss anything about the yiffit.net instance.

Hello, Unfortunately I am not able to take care of Yiffit as it deserves. Unfortunately, having been blocked by lemmy.ml, Yiffit is not a good instance to explore the lemmyverse because it is restricted. At the same time, I feel like there's countles off other sites where Yiff can be found in a better way.

I have closed registrations for the time being as I gather feedback and collect my thoughts.

Thank you and apologies.

fediblocks were a terrible design decision to begin with, way to ruin the fedi user experience.

I would definitely disagree with that one, they may suck when they are abused but they are very much needed to keep spam and trolls out, since anyone can host a server you need the ability to block servers which foster toxic environments or servers with the intent to cause harm, banning users isn't enough in those cases because malicious servers will typically spawn more users with different names or allow their members to create as many accounts as desired to circumvent remote bans. This is especially important on LGBTQ servers (which both this one and the one you're on are) where many people are targeted minorities and in the interest of keeping them and everyone else safe necessitates blocking other servers.

There are projects that don't implement blocking or make such blocking functionally useless, and those spaces are for the most part awful places to be, overrun by crypto shills, scammers, and bigoted trolls.
