So, what lemmy/kbin (or similar software, I don't keep up with popular fediverse software) servers would you recommend to join?

I haven't actively used Reddit in a long time and sometimes I just miss the message board feel. I know I could use this account for that, but I think I'd like to keep it separated by context.

My main concern is how well is the server moderated. Of course a nerdy server would be preferred, but as long as the server is federated, I think I am fine with any place that would have me (and again, is well moderated)

My Firefox addon got approved! It ensures i.imgur.com, preview.redd.it, i.reddit.com and media.tumblr.com actually send you an image when visiting links instead of redirecting to a page with a bunch of proprietary javascript!

Why did Usenet fail?
#reddit #usenet #lemmy

Recently I've seen at attempts to ressurect & promote Usenet.

Here is what I think about it in 2025.
- Lack of web gateways.
- lack of web clients
- There are few web "archives" that are just filled with spam & flood from 2000's
- lack of high quality discussions, content
- no bridges with different protocols
- obsure, outdated architecture and design. in era of zeronet

And other reasons listed in article below, that's also why people won't use web forums that are not part of wider network (such as #lemmy #activitypub #fediverse etc )

Blink and you’ll have never seen it in the first place 🫥

Age verification rules in the UK Online Safety Act are snapping parts of the Internet out of existence.

But it’s not what you think (porn)!

News on conflicts: GONE. Support for sexual health and smoking: GONE.

Watch as ORG’s @JamesBaker shows how censorship works ⬇️

The UK Online Safety Act has erected an age wall through the Internet 🚧

UK users are forced to accept censorship or hand over sensitive data to unregulated providers.

The government’s response? You’re a predator 🤨

Enough. Tell your MP to fix it now ⬇️

Age verification is creating an information desert.

The Online Safety Act sets every UK user to child as default.

Teenagers? Blocked. Adults? Content denied unless we do age checks with unregulated companies.

It's not just porn! News on Gaza and Ukraine is being scrubbed from view, threatening #freedomofexpression as well as #privacy ⛔
