As an instance owner myself some of this is concerning. I understand why lemmy.world would want to defederate from them. I won't defederate on my instance at this point, but if personal attacks start to happen or rules get broken, then it will be considered.

Sounds nifty as long as it works as intended.

Do you mean you created a community on the instance lemmy.world called fz_09 ? If so, I tried to go to that community, but it doesn't exist for m.

15 years here and I only go when I need to for a link that provides an answer for my job.

Looks great. Thank you for all your effort on this.

No and no.

I'm over 40 and nobody cares.

I created mine because I am a systems engineer by trade and I moved on from Reddit. Nobody else has used my instance except for me, but I think it's worth it. I like being in control of my own account and can be assured my instance wont impose rules that i dont agree with or worse, just disappear. If other people find it useful, then that's even better.

Not usually for an instance as big as vlemmy.net.

What a disguished looking dog. Is that a cardigan? Thank you for contributing fellow lemming.

No idea, but it looks as though they are either moving servers or they lost their domain.

Doesn't look good as the domain goes to a parked page.

Mostly. I prefer Lemmy. I actually like it enough to run my own instance.
