Yeah they blocked it a few months ago. I don't remember the specifics, but it seemed like a new mod/admin came into play and didn't get the memo about Lemmy and trying to be more transparent and engaged with communities. Just poof

If that's the case, I'd say the new mod did get the memo about Lemmy, and about the fediverse at large, and actually understood the legal risks involved in hosting this community.

Federation works by receiving and locally storing content from remote instances, which means any instance based in the USA is going to assume some significant legal risks by not banning this community.

It's not that they're refusing to let people look through a window into another, remote host. It's that they're refusing to host and serve that content from their own website.

i've noticed that LW replaces what i assume are some slurs in comments with removed it's automated, there's no indication that content was edited, nobody announced that, nothing appears in modlog so it must be done in db directly

that and they also prohibit use of vpns and tor

they also took suspiciously long to defederate exploding heads, compared to some leftist instance that i don't remember now but that instance wasn't an issue

Don't think LW has the language filter active. .ml is the one that has it active that I'm aware of

i've seen this on lw accounts, unless you can pull it out if you own community somehow

If they're posting on a .ml community, it'll get censored
