my-sunshine.video is one with no restrictions and has open registration. Don’t know about others.

How long has the site been down, as far as you know?

Yes, it claims to proxy the traffic, but then you have to connect to the fedibuzz relay server.

It sounded from the post that there was an attempt to directly connect to a Mastodon server through the relay connection, which won’t work.

A relay, as in the Mastodon relay feature? As in Administration->Relays? If so, does mastodonapp.uk have an active relay? It can’t be used to connect to just any Mastodon server. It has to connect to a special relay server.

Not sure whether this is helpful.

I’m now displaying it on feddit.online. And it’s staying.

Proton Mail, Tuta mail, runbox.com, to name three.

5.7 on IMDB.com FWIW.

Depends on the application for me. For Mastodon, I want to allow 12K character posts, more than 4 poll question choices, and custom themes. Can’t do it with Docker containers. For Peertube, Mobilizon, and Peertube, I use Docker containers.

The headline is nuts. There’s no hidden universe on the ocean floor. I’ll fix the headline:

“Scientists Found Evidence of Distant Cosmic Events Using a Detector on the Ocean Floor”

Wow! Well done!!

I see good points in this comment, even if the analogy of their being like hashtags might be a little off.

gup.pe groups have a 1-word description. Most of them I’ve been unable to assign a topic to because I didn’t know what the word means or it has ambiguous meanings. Most have no posts. So they land in the “unknown” topic.

I always wondered what I would do if someone started posting porn or hate to them. It would be a nightmare. I’d just have to block the group, I suppose.

Frankly, instead of someone creating a gup.pe-like group, I think they ought to create a community in PieFed, MBIN, or Lemmy. gup.pe was an early experiment when there wasn’t a threadiverse.

I’m fine without gup.pe or gup.pe replacements.

Doesn’t work that way. States agree to enforce each other’s civil orders

On feddit.online I block both the UK and France in addition to Mississippi. However, I believe in a future upgrade, PieFed can be configured to block people from specific countries from accessing NSFW and NSFL communities (feddit.online doesn’t allow NSFL communities). When that upgrade happens, I will open it again to the UK and France but keep it closed for Mississippi.

Why is this post NSFW???

I’m exhausted with all this. And it’s not my fight. The fight belongs to the people of Mississippi. They elected their “leaders.”

Until I know for sure that I am not on the hook to pay a $10K penalty for each person on my servers, I’ve blocked all Mississippi IP addresses from logging in and registering on my Mastodon, Piefed, and Friendica servers.

Wyoming will probably be next.

$2 billion to a cancer research center at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).

Saved you a click.

Congratulations! And kudos!! 🎉 🎆🍾🥂 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I suppose they are frustrated because they see so many posts all day that are nothing but people calling other people names. Nothing would deteriorate a discussion faster than people just calling other people morons and adding nothing more. Imagine what the comment section would be like if all the many many many comments like yours were allowed to post. Just a bunch of posts calling other people names. Nobody would want to use the community any longer.

I think they just have no more patience. Their rules are clear about what behavior they will accept.

Should you be given a second chance? I think this is the central question. That’s up to them and their policies, and it appears they do not allow second chances.

They can notify the hosting company that the server is violating UK law, the registrars, and payment services. This is the fear for sites not hosted in the UK. There are inter-country agreements to support civil actions.

Just mentioning that Mozilla VPN uses Mullvad, and with their Firefox extension you can exclude individual websites from VPN protection or set preferred server locations for specific sites. So you can stay on a UK server for UK banking sites but switch to a different country server for a social site.

Only works on Windows for now. But maybe useful given this situation.
