Hacker News: APIs for content sites must be free
Look at the discussion in other instances, for example
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/99601
Yet most the answers this thread has been receiving essentially consist of "stfu & gtfo", if I end up leaving it's not going to be just because of the admin decisions but much more because of the poor userbase that does not care about holding admins accountable and retaining control. I don't even blame the admins at this point.
Why was lemmygrad blocked?
Did the admins poll the community about it? Why was such measure so needed? If the tankie content is so annoying why not let users decide what they want to see or not and what they want to block? I don’t like that the admins want to censor the content I can view or not. You guys are not protecting us nor doing us a favor, you’re imposing your views over everyone else by limiting the information we are able to receive. I don’t support the devs views or the views in lemmygrad, but this is a dangerous precedent. I’ve read several of the “arguments” for blocking the instance and all I can see is a bunch of people talking about politics and arguing about “floods in the frontpage”. Well, let the user block communities if that’s the case, same way I’m already blocking communities I’m not interested. I think the admins want to feel like Facebook moderation. I’d be OK with it if any instance repeatedly generated spam, security, doxxing or any other concern that couldn’t be solved by banning individuals, otherwise it’s just plain censorship. I just don’t want the admins to use their power to decide what I can see or not. If this is going to be like this, I’ll leave for a better instance because I can see where this is going to.
Here's how's going to go down

Best country/hosting options?
Hello, I am thinking of running a new instance for LatAm users and topics, and I see from the Lemmy documentation that “country and hosting must be chosen carefully to avoid issues, takedowns, loss of data” (roughly paraphrasing) Looking for advice from you guys on the best hostings out there and best practices to avoid legal or hosting issues. Do domain providers matter?
