Today's web is the opposite of what early Internet utopians had in mind. Now the situation is somewhat similar to climate change: even committed activists can no longer turn the tide for the better. (lemmy.world)

that is possibly the best compliment I've been given in ages, it's just a simple, fun playground and basically my social media replacement (just without the annoying audience :)

I was just going to check it out again to get some inspiration but it looks like it's blocked?

I threw some filtering on it just to be extra safe and wound up blocking everything but the US. Did get a small uptick on bot traffic when I posted a link so might have overdone the security a little.

Guessing you are from one of the countries in hat showed up in the filter logs. I’ll do some selective unblocking.

EDIT- been selectively unblocking as I see them. I'm extra paranoid but also always learning.
