I was wondering if anyone knows how to figure out which instances are blocking this one? I know beehaw is as it was quite public, but now we are blocked by 2 and I am just curious which instance is the second one. I have looked on the awesome-lemmy-instances page and also tried Federation Observer, The Federation Info and FediDB but none of them seem to have this information.
Edit: Lemmymap seems like the easiest option, as you can’t specifically search for an instance. It seems like https://news.cosocial.ca/instances is the other instance that has blocked us! Thank you bdonvr for mentioning this.
Edit2: It should be noted that this is a very small instance as mentioned by PriorProject, and is nothing to be worried about.
While I personally don’t care to use them myself, they generally don’t ruin my reading experience unless its obvious spam. However, I have heard that they are the enemy of people who rely on screen readers. Screen readers will say something like “Tongue sticking out emoji”. So depending on where they are placed in text it can probably be really difficult to read things.
Did your comment end up on the wrong post? Websockets seem to be falling apart this week and leading to all kinds of weird bugs.
Yep totally wrong post lol. Sorry for the missing context, I was trying to reply to a thread about the use of emojis.
No worries, I think there’s a legit bug in Lemmy doing this right now even if you make no mistakes.
Oh! That was my post. Actually I didn’t know about the screen reader thing, that’s actually a legit reason to use alternatives
lol I’m glad my post made its way around to you then.
