PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News.

That was how the Internet worked back in the day. Site reliability for small sites was shit and going viral would routinely pull a smaller site down.
If only there was a solution to that.

Is that true though? Is it really a Zionist server?
There are a lot of people who vaguely lean pro-Israel (but may be revaluating their position in light of recent news), who cannot be called Zionist.
I just think words matter and one shouldn't debase the meaning of the world Zionists.

wrote last edited by [email protected]There are two mega threads on Ye power tripping bastards community.
You can review this discussion for yourself.
My conclusion is that they used the law to hide behind. Sure some of the offending content should be removed per German law but there is a lot more censorship that happens on there to ensure that zio view points are validated and genocide is white washed.
A lot of people who discussed the censorship outside of feddit.Org got banned on it despite never posting there.
Genocide agenda will not be questioned

Its just based in Germany
Move the server. Easy improvement over supporting genocide. They won't tho.
Right... Why should non Germans have to suffer shit German laws when they are trying to have an open discussion about a genocide.
Entire premise of their argument is idiotic.
-
Unless these are new threads, I believe I've read through them.
I am not convinced they are Zionist or whitewashing Israeli genocide (in the manner of tankie degenerates).
I genuinely believe that it benefits no one to casually label people zionists.
I will give you an example from my native country, Ukraine. After Hamas went on their stupid rampage, a lot of Ukrainians supported Israel (I don't understand this since the Israeli government is largely pro-russian). People even equated Hamas with the russians (e.g. mass organized killings of civilians).
That being said, once they saw what Israel did in Gaza, many (not all) started taking a more critical look at their support for Israel.
I am just saying, it's not good to label people when their views can be flexible and are sometimes driven by ignorance.

I didn't label the "people"
I labeled the server aka "moderators" and owners who issued intellectually incongruent statements to justify their censorship and other unsavory behaviour.

Fair point.
I still don't think the Feddit administration (in the broad sense of the word) is Zionist, but I will admit that I could be wrong.
For what it's worth I've always leaned on the side of the Palestinians, even before the russians invaded in 2014. I just think some caution is needed with using the term Zionist (especially when there is a solid chance of changing their views).

I will be honest, I didn't realize plight of Palestinians until after Gaza genocide started.
The two sides propaganda and broad support across western regimes works well to keep narratives going.
I don't see how the server admins are not zionists at this point but that's jist t opinion.
The whole point of fedi is to test opinions in public discourse.
People should make up their own minds.
-
I would say the test of public discourse should have limits. For example "North Korea is a great place to live and their regime is a vanguard against western imperialism" should not be treated as spam/trolling. I would argue the same for "genocide of russian speakers in Donbas".
But I digress. You are right in that we must have the opportunity to state facts about Gaza even if it means damning outcomes for the Israeli polity (i.e. factual recognition that Israel is a genocidal settler colonialiat state).

I have no idea how to get my app to open the original article ( https://feddit.org/post/18353777 ) so I'll just mention here that I installed PostmarkedOS on my ancient Wileyfox Swift a few days ago.
And while it was very exciting this particular setup was barely usable. I tried all the UI / DE options but only Phosh and KDE recognized touch inputs (so I could not do anything on Gnome and SXMO or whatever it is called). Phosh had some very weird problems with the onscreen keyboard and flickering menus and KDE had amazing graphical glitches (it really was quite something, I wish I had taken photos with another camera now) and sleep wasn't working even after the fixes from the wiki. I really wanna check it out on mever hardware at some point through, I think it's a really cool project:

That's not a "post from feddit.org," that's a "post by a feddit.org user on a lemmy.ml community." It may be DDOSing feddit.org because that server's view of it is the link that happened to go viral, but there's no reason folks outside Lemmy couldn't view it on the server it's actually posted on, or some other third node like lemmy.world or whatever.

Nice! I have a feeling that most of the fediverse dont use a whole lot of caching. I dont really enjoy some of the things cloudflare does, but it does do a good job with caching.
Is Memcache still a thing? I remember using that for a LOT of older apps back in the day.
wrote last edited by [email protected]IMO what we need is a different sort of thing more like load-balancing than caching, where users from outside the Fediverse (i.e. who aren't logged in to the server whose URL they're trying to load and thus probably don't actually have a strong preference about which instance they actually view it from) get redirected to other instances to help spread out the load.
There's no particular reason why the entirety of Hacker News and Reddit needs to be piling in to view this thing that was posted to [email protected] just because a feddit.org user happened to have been the one who wrote it (and possibly shared it).
Posts and comments already have a chain icon for the URL of the view of them on the user's current server and a fediverse graph icon for the URL of them on the poster's home server, but maybe there needs to be a third icon for the lemmyverse link url or something like that.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Very interesting idea. Peertube already does this sorta. The p2p nature means the more traffic/servers, the less load the original instance has to push.

Wasn't that the idea behind zeronet? I think zeronet is dead(?) now, but it was a fun concept.

I recall https://www.gnunet.org but its been a LONG time since ive played around with it.

I like I2p but it doesn't solve the problems that zeronet did.
Will have to look into gnunet though. Not sure what that does, or how.
