Nikelui@fujiwara since you are choosing an instance, you might be interested in the drama going on in the background.

@Nikelui I'm confused, this is just talking about the instance created by the Lemmy devs right?
@fujiwara yes, that is the main Lemmy instance. It also seems to have started blocking instances from kbin:

I think @chikorita157 would know more about it than me.

Feditips were right along as apparently, lemmy.ml, the “official” Lemmy as they blocked all Kbin instances from talking with their officially Lemmy server. https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/104312/Lemmy-ml-is-blocking-all-requests-from-kbin-Instances #kbin #lemmy
@Nikelui @chikorita157 oh, I wasn't interested in joining the main Lemmy instance. I don't like huge communities like that, and after reading all of that it just seems like it's full of bad people.

There are the lemmy instance that is managed by the same guy that runs infosec exchange.
Also, there is a Kbin run by the same people.
Note: These instances aren’t affiliated with the Lemmy devs.
@chikorita157 @Nikelui I'll stay away from them as well. Thank you guys!
@chikorita157 @Nikelui So they aren't run by the Lemmy devs that have a bunch of controversy surrounding them? Sorry, I'm just a little confused 
@chikorita157 @Nikelui Ah okay, sorry I just read it wrong it seems. I'll check them out then!
Ai@fujiwara @chikorita157 @[email protected] just wanted to add some more info that I came across. While those instances aren't run by the problematic dev, it seems like the Lemmy platform itself has questionable privacy practices: https://raddle.me/f/lobby/155371/warning-lemmy-doesn-t-care-about-your-privacy-everything-is
To be fair this seems more like negligence rather than intentional and I haven't looked into it further so it may not be entirely accurate.

Now that I think about it though, say I delete a post I've made here on Sakurajima. Since Sakurajima federates with Urusai.social, my post would've already been sent to and stored on their servers. Meaning even if I delete it here, it would have to be deleted from Urusai.social and all other instances for it to be truly gone.
It's a relatively new service so I'm curious about all the other novel privacy problems that the fediverse has 🤔
Sorry for the rambling!

@ai @fujiwara @Nikelui How deletion works is that if the user follow you on their server, the post should delete on their server.
Also, Urusai is in our relay, which connects with Sakurajima.moe and social. That means if a post is deleted on social, it will be removed on Sakurajima Moe and Urusai Social plus other servers that a user is following you from.
You can learn more about federation at https://mastodon.help. The basics of how federation works is the same with all software that works with ActivityPub

Ooh that's interesting. Thanks for the link! I'm really curious about how delete is implemented now so I'll check out the guide and maybe the source code. Will report back if I find anything interesting 😆

Josh On The Side@fujiwara @Nikelui I’ve been here a couple weeks trying to get to the bottom of this as well. There’s def a bunch of chatter that Lemmy=bad that some seem to be purporting. I’m waiting to see what all fleshes out in the #threadiverse after july 1st - when we might see more of the #redditMigration
@fujiwara @Nikelui I found something a bit more digestible about this over here: https://lemmy.world/comment/595382
PSA: Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy - Lemmy.world
Too many people are confusing the two. Whenever lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] or its devs do something stupid, people go “Lemmy is getting worse and worse,” or “I’m leaving Lemmy,” or worse, “I’m leaving for Beehaw.” If you’re using Beehaw, then you’re using Lemmy. Lemmy is the software these instances run on. If you don’t like lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml], join another instances that have rules that match your philosophy. Some instance hosts authoritarian or fascist shit? Turn to another Lemmy instance. Lemmy.ml [http://Lemmy.ml] is not even the biggest instance. People who just joined and are unfamiliar with the platform will just think the entire Lemmyverse is run by autocratic admins if we don’t get our terminology right.
@Lifecoach5000 @Nikelui I feel so stupid reading all of this lol
@Lifecoach5000 @fujiwara thank you for sharing. I'm also new and feeling very stupid. I created an account on kbin.social after the reddit migration, but I am searching for a smaller instance to move to, so this helps.
