- Comment on Did lemmy.world really defederate from the pirate instance? Totally unacceptable if so 1 year ago:
No. There was no defederation.
lemmy.world/instances is the public list of which foreign instances are federated with or blocked. LemmyWorld is federated with dbzer0 still.
Lemmy.world did ban several priracy-related communities from multiple foreign instances and that were hosted directly on Lemmy.World, and you can see that activity in LemmyWorld’s public modlog here: lemmy.world/modlog . Hint (filter by action = “removing communities”).
- Comment on Is it legal to be out in public in just underwear? 1 year ago:
This doesn’t invalidate my earlier statement that citizens are still subject to city ordinances.
There are around 20,000 cities and municipalities in the United States, most of them have public-nudity/indecent-exposure laws.
You successfully made the point that the legality of city ordinances can be challenged in higher courts (and even sometimes overturned) but the reality is that most people have neither the funding nor the time nor the expertise to take that up…which means ultimately you’re still subject to a city/municipality ordinances as well as state and federal.
In 2017, Tagami v City of Chicago, the US Court of appeals for 7th Circuit ruled 2-1 that the city’s public nudity ordinance did not violate the complainant’s rights and upheld the lower court decisions (which meant that City of Chicago’s ordinance remained intact and validated as enforceable by the city).
At the end of the day, yes you do have to be cognizant of the ordinances/codes of the city in question and cannot rely on State/Federal law alone.
- Comment on Is it legal to be out in public in just underwear? 1 year ago:
You are mistaken. City ordinances absolutely comes into play here. In the US, you are subject to federal law, any additional state laws, any additional county laws, and then any additional city municipal-codes/ordinances.
Here’s the Seattle city ordinance that applies:
Seattle Municipal Code, Chapter 12A.10.130, Paragraph A.
A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm.

Well, I already named the jurisdiction: Seattle, Washington, USA.
The date/time shouldn’t matter since the ordinances haven’t changed, but it was Aug 12, 2012 just in case anyone reading this just happened to be in Seattle at the time and saw us.
- Comment on Is it legal to be out in public in just underwear? 1 year ago:
It depends entirely on the jurisdiction. Take the city of Seattle, for example (I know this because I planned an executed a nude photo shoot in public view inside the city limits and sought legal council ahead of time to ensure I wan’t risking being charged with any crimes). The general rule for Seattle hinges on whether the activity is intended to tittilate or sexually arouse observers - and if that is obviously not the intent, then even full nudity is not illegal. Many other large cities have very similar ordinances.
The smaller the town, and the more conservative the region, the stricter and less flexible the ordinances. There are beaches in South Carolina, for example, where they even regulate the minimum amount of coverage for bikinis and beachware.
- Comment on Just created my own instance, what is the easiest way to transfer subscribed communities? 1 year ago:
I need this also, but not for the same reason. I’ve created user accounts on several large/medium/small instances to serve as redundancy in case one or more of my favorite instances is having technical difficulties or just gets decommissioned. I’d like to synchronize my community subscriptions across multiple accounts so that I can easily switch between user-accounts/instances without missing anything I’m already subscribed to.
In my search, I did find this “Lemmy Migrate” script, but I’ve not yet had an opportunity to dive in and try it. Take a look, maybe it’ll work for you.

- Comment on Does the modlog shows communities from one instance being banned from other instances? 1 year ago:
But I know an admin can ban or block communities from other instances
I am pretty sure this is incorrect. Admins can not block select specific communities from other instances. Federation is by whole instance or nothing.
Every instance maintains a public instance list which shows which other instances are federated and which are blocked. For exampke, here’s the Lemmy.World instance manifest: lemmy.world/instances
- Comment on Lemmy.world: why not focusbon stability instead of growth? 1 year ago:
The operators of this instance are legit professionals and work diligently at resolving stability issues. The occasional problems with this instance aren’t caused by resource or capacity problems, but by external forces (coordinated DDOS attacks) and inherent Lemmy issues. The reason smaller instances aren’t targeted more is because terrorism tends to focus on affecting the most number of people possible (big instances are big targets).
- Comment on Many reports from lemmy.world users on things not being tagged nsfw 1 year ago:
Up until 2 weeks ago, I was seeing posts from lemmynsfw occasionally show up on lemmyworld missing the NSFW tag. I actually went out and created a lemmynsfw account so I could figure out what was going on, but I haven’t seen a single example of it in over a week.
- Comment on Can a reply to an ongoing email conversation land in spam? 1 year ago:
Yes, and even more chance of that happening today than 5 years ago. Reason: because of the modern day prevalence of the ‘fake reply’ SPAM and Phishing emails. Spammers and phishers are now drafting fresh messages mocked up to look like replies in existing email threads…older spam detection used to let these types of messages slip through because they thought they must be legitimate replies, and so naturally spammers started exploiting that to slip past detection.
