I understand that this is possible. If it were some bad community moderators I would just avoid those communities. If the entire instance is tainted then I wouldn't want to engage with it even if the instance is federated.
It's interesting they even programmed the ability to flag communities and posts as NSFW and turn it off in user settings if they didn't want any NSFW content to be federated with them.
Probably as good a time as any to depart from lemmy.ml.
If the devs / admins of lemmy.ml can't be trusted and the admins of lemmy.world are abusive then it is safe to say the experiment called Lemmy has failed. There is no recovery from the top 2 instances which make up most of the "content" are not worth supporting. I could go to another instance and block lemmy.world and lemmy.ml once the BE 0.19.0 update rolls out, but then the site is just dead. It's already pretty much like talking to the wind. but the site would be truly empty at that point.
I started noticing the trend of instances defederating into little islands months ago, but it seems obvious at this point that it the concept of federation isn't going to work out well. The easily self hostable part is still nice even if it eventually ends up as singular instances with maybe 1 or 2 federated connections that actually post things. There will be a lot of instances that have nothing, but I don't think that really counts.
Besides some obvious ones like The Last Airbender I think one of the worst movies I've ever seen was Knock Knock was Keanu Reeves. I'm somewhat surprised this movie was even made.
Computer. Please list all of Commander Riker's search queries.
How would federation work in that case? Are they going to defederate any instance that has NSFW content? By their own definition I've found CSAM on lemmy.world and every other instance that has NSFW communities.
Might as well disallow all NSFW content if naked anime girls is going to be considered CSAM. Relating these two things is making light of a real problem.
Lemmy.world admins are power abusing bullies. If lemmy.ml is defederating for this then they are soon to follow.
I gave up on video games and never really cared for internet people content. So I read books and am always on the lookout for shows I might like. Many of which are decades old.
It might be difficult to adjust to the slow paced entertainment of reading, but once you go through a bit of digital detox it will become as entertaining as a television show.
What even is "fashion" in this context if not a single person will ever wear it?

I have never read the book for the Foundation trilogy or any of the books in the series. I’ve seen fans of the book be critical of this adaptation for not being faithful to Asimov’s original intent. I am unsure if I am better off having not read it yet and enjoying this TV series in ignorance or if I should have read the book first so I can properly understand the point Asimov was trying to make. None the less I cannot change the past and it is what it is. I enjoyed this show if for nothing else than the spectacular visuals for much of it. The very first episode had a beautiful depiction of an extremely large space elevator as well as its amazing destruction. A space elevator of this magnitude falling to the planet such as Trantor with its many layers of civilization and the entire planet being covered with a single city was truly incredible.
However, from then on the show has this stark contrast between all of the scenes featuring the Empire and everything else on Terminus. This is where our protagonists Gaal Dornick and Hari Seldon were sent to build the foundation that would reduce supposed dark ages following the inevitable collapse of the Empire. All of the scenes featuring the plot on Empire I found exciting and really well done while all of the scenes on Terminus and with Gaal, Hari and Salvor to be quite bland and stereotypical. Which is curious considering the Empire plot is mostly content written for the show and the plot on Terminus is vaguely resembling the plot Asimov wrote in the original trilogy.
My biggest gripe with the show might be that the plot from my understanding is often contradictory. The way Hari originally described the concept of psychohistory and its mathematics was that it takes a sufficiently large population to make any accurate predictions about future trends. No mere individual is significant enough to make any deviations in those trends. Yet rather consistently we see Gaal and even Hari himself make statements that they absolutely need to do some urgently as the fate of the galaxy depends on it. I don’t see how this can possibly be the case if the concept of psychohistory is to be taken as legitimate.
Despite some glaring inconsistencies I still enjoyed my time watching this show and look forward to the likely season 3 that is coming. In the meantime I might have to read the book to finally see the story as it was originally intended by Asimov.
