You're looking for this: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/censured. Us instance admin can also endorse other instances.

I hadn't heard of Pebble the Twitter competitor. It just makes me miss the Pebble watches.

As a Canadian, I appreciate a lot of what the EU does when it comes to consumer protections. Hopefully this one also ends up impacting the rest of us!

Relatable. Birds are suddenly really interesting in your 30s.

It's definitely sad, but not discriminatory. Organ transplant recipients generally need to take a lot of immunosuppressive medications. Getting fully vaccinated is a bare minimum for improving the likelihood of a successful transplant.

ljdawson's decision to develop a Lemmy app played a significant part in locking down our decision to bring /r/android to !android@lemdro.id.

We didn't post this one up! I posted on /r/android shortly before bed and felt it would've been in bad taste if we had posted here without discussing with you folks first (I also admittedly slept in, as it's a holiday today for Canada Day Weekend).

I was actually hoping to reach out to you and Mike to see if you're interested in joining our mod team on !android@lemdro.id. We hope to carry forward the same kind of content philosophy from /r/android prior to our lockdowns, namely discussions and items of collective interest, and avoiding specific, technical support questions that can overtake large communities - and think you both align pretty well with our overall emphasis on keeping it civil and cordial.

For a bit of background on the instance, @cole@lemdro.id has been spending quite some time getting lemdro.id setup and optimized for us with a focus on ensuring backend scalability to handle load. The hope was to have an instance where major tech and other subreddits could feel comfortable moving to, without the significant performance issues that could leave folks with bad first impressions (a number of us were around for the waves of migration from Digg to Reddit).

Folks are currently reaching out to their respective mod teams at other large tech subreddits to see if there's interest in joining Lemmy as well. We also have a number of developers with us exploring opportunities to contribute code improvements and fill gaps within the Lemmy ecosystem (e.g., accessibility improvements, moderator tools, fighting spam), with at least one bug fix already contributed to the Lemmy Github!

If you and Mike are interested, please do reach out! It would be great to have you both. Given Lemmy doesn't support group PMs or Modmail, let me know if you want to connect somewhere else - I'm on Telegram, Discord, and Element but would be happy to chat anywhere.

There's some interesting context:

In 2018, Twitter signed a $1 billion contract with Google to host some of its services on the company’s Google Cloud servers. Platformer reports Twitter recently refused to pay the search giant ahead of the contract’s June 30th renewal date. Twitter is reportedly rushing to move as many services off of Google’s infrastructure before the contract expires, but the effort is “running behind schedule,” putting some tools, including Smyte, a platform the company acquired in 2018 to bolster its moderation capabilities, in danger of going offline.
