YouTube has so many ads now it’s ridiculous. Yesterday YouTube threatened me with the popup even though I have UBlock on Firefox. I’ve seen 10 ads on a 20 minute video. As if the un-skipabble 2 minute long ads that pause when you switch tabs wasn’t bad enough, YouTube is now putting ads in their Premium.
YouTube is in dire need of a big competitor and fast.
OP has very little understanding of the fediverse given they don’t know how bans work and appears to dislike the fediverse quite a lot given their other post and this one as well.
Imgur link is broken and the links are broken too. Anyone got archives?
I mean, it’s called the fediverse. That alone should cue OP that it’s not a single site.
What makes you think the posts cannot be reported? They exist on the lemm.ee instance. Lemm.ee mods and admins can see those posts. When you post to another instance you aren’t actually leaving your native instance. It’s more like trying to forward a letter to someone. In Leni’s case their letters to lemmy.world are never leaving the post office (lemm.ee), but the staff at the post office (lemm.ee) can still see their letters, even though the recipient (lemmy.world) isn’t getting them.
When you’re instance banned and try to post to a community that is going to an instance you’re banned from it will appear as if you’re posting in that community like normal, but the post won’t federate. Only users native to their instance will be able to see the posts (in Leni’s case, only lemm.ee users can see those posts). Let’s say you’re instance banned from lemmy.world. You could seemingly post to a lemmy.world community on a lemm.ee account, but the post won’t actually show up for lemmy.world users.
are technically still functional to her
Leni’s still banned. I don’t know why you seem so insistent on trying to say they aren’t. You don’t seem to understand how federation works.

Leni attempted to post in a Beehaw community. Leni is instance-banned from Beehaw. This post isn’t visible to anyone on the Beehaw instance. In fact, the post isn’t even on Beehaw, it was posted on lemm.ee.
Just looked at OP’s recent post history, and they seem to be concern trolling about if “transracial” identities will be covered under Feddit.uk’s transphobia guidelines. https://lemmy.wtf/post/22009472/14897093
Yeah, the whole point of the Fediverse is it’s decentralized. Each instance has its own independent administrators so if you come across an instance you don’t like, you can just post to another one. Lemmy isn’t just one site but hundreds of sites that communicate together.
OP is referring to the KiwiFarms user Call Me Leni. https://lemmy.wtf/post/22238310/14899370
Context for those unaware:
“A friend of mine” OP is referring to Call Me Leni, who was banned from several instances and communities for being a KiwiFarms member, among other things, and OP has a grudge against the Fediverse for this. Leni shouldn’t have linked their KiwiFarms posts on Lemmy, and linked Lemmy threads talking about them on their KiwiFarms account. That wasn’t very bright of them.
Call me Leni also defended KiwiFarms as a “free speech” site and tried to conflate the hate site with Discord:
I take it OP feels like the Fediverse is violating “free speech” for banning KiwiFarms members.
It’s about time women got more accurate representation in games. How many games have you play as a man compared to playing as a woman? Technically it should be 50/50 to more accurately represent the real world.
I wonder if Elon will be in the history books for the fastest someone has destroyed their reputation?
Quoting the article
"I’m glad I’m an extremist,” he wrote. “Makes me WAY less tethered to this turd of a planet.
Very very screwed up. People like him are dangerous to society.
This. I feel sorry for Christine. She attracted the attention of trolls for appearing “awkward”. She then attracted a group of trolls known as the “Idea Guys” who basically made her mental health spiral even more, affecting her grasp on reality. This went on for years and years.
KiwiFarms is also the same site that was responsible for the suicide of the beloved BSNES/Higan dev, Byuu/Near.
You said “most countries” with no mention of perceived civility.
KiwiFarms is a site that was created for hate speech. It is an extremist site by design. The userbase and the owner of a hate speech site are going to be maliciously biased for it.
Yes, that’s right. Most other sites are much more reliable than KiwiFarms and its userbase are. I’m glad we’ve come to an agreement on this.
I’m going to trust reliable sources. I’d rather trust those than someone who the modlogs say is an alt of a KiwiFarms member, since KiwiFarms members are known for not being the most honest people around.
Conversion therapy is banned in most countries.
It’s only banned in a handful of countries, actually.
I’m just telling you most countries don’t consider it a slur
That is no justification for using slurs.
You are trying to speak for what people see when they register. I am looking right at it, it’s not there.
I trust what I’ve read about the site, including what I’ve read on RationalWiki. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms
Most “cows” are described as what are known as “exceptional individuals”, coined after a post filter was installed to replace the word “r----s”. On its now-banned Twitter account, Kiwi Farms described its purpose as “gossip and exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes”.[17] Furthermore, the sign-up page for the site once came with a disclaimer saying “autistics will be laughed at. T----s will be misgendered. People will try to find where you live.”[18] Due to its offensive content, Kiwi Farms is arguably a hate speech website.
Keep in mind as a side note that the R word is not a slur in most countries
Conversion “therapy” isn’t considered bad in most countries either. Defending slurs is not a good look.
That was a mistake. It was meant to be https://sh.itjust.works/u/[email protected] so my point still stands.
You seem to be going out of your way jumping at people in an attempt to discredit them, including putting words in people’s mouth like you did here. I suspect you aren’t here for a truthful discussion.
This user was banned for being anti-Semitic and telling people to kill themselves. Also, when you’re instance-banned, you automatically get banned from the communities you were active in. The mod didn’t manually ban them from all those communities. When you attempt to post to a community in an instance you’re banned from that you weren’t active in, the instance-ban means the post won’t federate.
