Hey, so i banned it for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it was mainly unmoderated and was causing a lot of mod reports we had to resolve under various spam and wrong community reports. There was sometimes a fair bit of porn it was reposting iirc too, which causes a fair few issues especially if it was reposting copyrighted material.
Secondly, it was taking up a lot of space. It had something like 1.5 million posts at the time I banned it. It was causing the user page to fail to load for admins because of just how big the search queries were becoming in the database. It wasn’t manageable anymore.
Thirdly it was only very infrequently upvoted/interacted with locally, to the point it went weeks without interaction where we stored tens of thousands of posts and subsequent thumbnails for no apparent reason.
We don’t have unlimited budget and storage is our biggest risk factor to cost, so ultimately we have to be pragmatic about hosting that content. We don’t have the budget of some of the larger servers unfortunately.
Hope that helps 😊

Thanks, i’ve added you as a mod to the xbox community!
Might be worth creating a runescape community with your .zip account, then within 24 hours all the other instances should start federating with it again.

@cm0002@lemmy.zip do you want to mod it? Apparently yes it can be restored
- Comment on Can !runescape@lemmy.zip be restored? 5 weeks ago:
Ah yeah, my bad.
I don’t know what will happen if I recreate it, probably break everything. Will give it a shot.
I thought it had been locked before being deleted though, obviously not!

Ah good, what everyone said would happen is exactly what is happening.
Sure its not the data verification company directly, but proves that the whole process is so sufficiently complex that your ID could end up with multiple different providers and then be stolen. Not great.

FYI these are all on ASN 49453
The other option is to block/challenge the ASN
- Comment on Slow server responses? 2 months ago:
Definitely something was up, the server maxed out.
Seems similar behaviour to when someone imports their settings from another instance, which caused a lot of problems during the .ee migration, however I’ll see if I can find any other reasons for it.

Voyager, blorp has an android app too, there’s loads in the play store. I use the web view personally though
- Comment on What are best practices for browsing lemmy.zip? 2 months ago:
Hey, welcome! Blorp is under active development so might not yet be feature complete. The other UIs (“frontends”) are all quite established now. You can use photon (m.lemmy.zip) on desktop or mobile, and its fully feature complete.
I usually stick to Hot/All, generally a good turnover of posts for me :)
Hot is the most upvoted posts recently, active is the most comments. I believe scaled promotes smaller communities, but I don’t use it much personally.

Yeah its fine, by geoblocking the UK traffic we’re outside of the scope of the OSA. While it is admittedly an odd position to be in, there’s nothing inherently wrong with it.

Weve had Alice banned for like a year unfortunately, which is why you won’t see much/any activity, especially if that account is a mod in the community.
- Comment on Lemmy.zip Server Update September 2025 2 months ago:
Nope, should be all good with HC, for example lemmy.zip/u/AINewsBot@hilariouschaos.com should show the latest posts for you

Us person here. Does that mean that donations are tax deductible?
We’re a UK-based non-profit company, not a US 501©(3) charity. That means donations aren’t tax deductible in the US.
There are apparently avenues, but we’re not at the stage of looking into that yet.

- Comment on 451 error on Lemmy.zip media? ("Unavailable due to legal reasons") 2 months ago:
It’s not a paid feature (we don’t pay) - its their CSAM scanning tool. In this case, because we use the Lemmy proxy, it’s taken down everything pattern matching
https://i.lemmy.zip/api/v3/image_proxywhich is less than helpful.
