I understand why they did what they did and it makes me think of how db0 and other admins are saying fuck all and taking a very big liability for making and supporting a free internet and i want to say all the work you do is very much appreciated. Also shoutout to lemmy.ml admins for running a similar community on their own .
Links for supporting the db0 server and do consider donating as it is running behind on expenses.

Here’s the donations links from on the sidebar mateys. The server is currently is not covering its hosting costs ;)
EDIT: Removed since they’re in the OP now
Added to the post .
What are the current hosting costs? Every cent counts, but how much do y’all need?
The ko-fi page has that info i think.
check the ko-fi. It shows how much progress we have to cover the costs until June
Man, I didn’t realize there were only 22 people supporting you monthly.
53 of us are on Patreon too
I didn’t realize there was a patreon, I made a Ko-fi account just for this.
Ko-fi is better for the creator anyway, I wish I knew about the Ko-Fi first haha
I will never defederate from y’all ❤️
OT, that’s a very nice UN and instance name you have!
Thank you! I started the server as a random project right after I left Reddit and shredded all of my posts. I’m pretty sure I’m the only active user but that’s okay by me. It’s a little money out of my pocket to give both myself and others refuge from social media and all of the enshitification.
Don’t mention it! Your reasoning and mindset is so very heartening, I hope you’ll get more active users, they’ll be in good hands for sure. Instance owners like your self, db0 are a treasure. 👌
Just went to ko-fi too, i use lemmy daily and i love this instance & the admins here, and thats worth a few bucks a month
Care to ELI5 for us casuals who did not catch and are missing the obvious?
AFAIK Lemmy.world (the largest Lemmy instance) was issued a takedown request for something unrelated, and conducted a review of the piracy communities following that.
Unfortunately they decided to remove/unfed a few piracy communities as a result, such as this one on dbzer0.
So while we are still all federated, lemmy.world users can no longer see or interact with the [email protected] community ☹️
So we can still things from them but they can’t see things from us?
I suppose that’s why people make at least two accounts.
I think they’ve just defederated the community, so they can see users commenting from dbzer0 but can’t access [email protected] themselves.
But generally yes, federation is two way. It’s possible for one side to defederate while the other side to be federated, in which case users on one side could post comments but they’d only be visible to instances that are federated with them. Eg, if lemmy.world was not federated with dbzer0 at all, but it was still federated with lemmy.ml, then dbzer0 comments in lemmy.world would show up for dbzer0 and lemmy.ml users but not for lemmy.world.

db0 is a personal hero of mine I have been a follower since his OCTGN creations.
What’s that acronym?
Divided by zero
I meant the other one lol
Hahah! This answer works for me, because I was unsure what db0 was. Now I hopefully learn two new acronyms
Online Card and Tabletop Gaming Network
Laughed out loud
daym, you take me back. Pre or post A:NR? :D
Started with A:NR, and your sound effects were legendary amongst everyone I know. LOGIN REJECTED
They did assist in immersion didn’t they? 😁
As someone who just started with this community, I’ll admit that I’m a little confused by what happened. Appreciate everyone who puts in time here though!
Love 'em. And mods of this community are pretty tight too 💘
