I got banned from one of their communities for criticising the Chinese government. Yeah, I feel like all big .ml communities should be blocked as an indivisible part of the process of setting up a Lemmy account.

My favourite instance is peertube.wtf. As far as I can tell, it’s the most federated instance, so you can get to the most other Peertube content from it! Also it’s just funny that “wtf” is its URL! For channels, I like Triple Iris , Vex0r, and Slope’s Game Room

Honestly I’d love to set up a big “default” instance myself, but as soon as you become a big advert for everyone else to set up their channel on your instance, server costs will go through the roof. I’m in England and Peertube.wtf generally works better for me, but even then it seems to randomly crash and reload on longer videos like stream VODs, so maybe it is a geography thing.

Yeah pretty much

Last I heard, Trump’s own actions were tanking the popularity of his European equivalents across the board. Reform UK for example peaked in the polls about a year ago, and have been dropping ever since.

Update: It’s fully back up again thanks to those who checked, and thanks to the admin if they read this!

OK it’s kind of back up, although really slow and most of the UI doesn’t work. I suppose it’s just low on server space or something now

Damn… Thanks though, at least I know it’s not just me!
