OP's account is on SJW and that instance does not require email verification. Plenty of instances don't.

LMAO. As much as restrictions of this kind suck, at least DNS makes more sense than IP without any transparency.
It really does sound like whoever came up with the IP solution had no idea of what the hell they were talking about.
I mean, you shouldn't stay on here if you don't like it, that goes without saying, but I think all in all the benefits outweight the few very annoying issues that this platform has. For instance, I think that the smaller number of people tend to mean that if you leave a comment somewhere you are likely to find someone to chat with and discuss whatever it is that you brought up in your comment.
Often times on Reddit there are so many comments that you either blow up getting over 20 replies or get forgotten and ignored. No inbetweens.
Do they? I think most of Lemmy still prefers online freedom, it should be one of the reasons that brought us here. Plus, the people you are gonna meet even by changing instance are going to be more or less the same. The number of instances you are barred from by staying on .world is pretty small.
You know, in a way I am glad that we managed to implement such a piss poor implementation of a PiRaCy ShIeLd. They are going to have to roll back or disable this piece of crap in a matter of days and that will hopefully be the end of these silly internet restrictions for good.
Had the implementation not sucked ass this bad, we would have needed to wait for some EU infringiment procedure or ECJ order to shut it down. Instead, this way it's gonna end way more quickly.
If anything, what's racist is the attitude the researches are showing. Implying a certain person isn't as good as others at something and thus needs assistance, all because of some ethnical characteristics. Uhm... do we have a name for that?
Discrimination is when meritocracy.
Nah it should not. It would hurt decentralization and small instances. We already have a tool for curbing spam, it's called the Fediseer. You may or may not have heard about it, but most admins have.
That ban has been in place since about as long as smartphones have been a thing. And even regardless of the national ban, generally school forbade them as a local policy.
Doesn't change the fact that nothing will happen if the teacher doesn't act. So TL;DR nothing will change, it will remain up to the teacher like it already was.
Like others have said, the lily you saw are likely related with papal coats of arms. In general, popes often embedded their coats of arms into the monuments and villas they built.
Symbologically speaking, the fleur-de-lys is generally associated with various religious symbols such as the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph and purity in general, which is why we find them so often in heraldry (like you said the Bourbon coat of arms but even before then it's always been a symbol of France since the Frankish king Clovis' conversion), the Italian city of Florence, the French city of Lille, the British House of Lancaster and an uncountable number of Italian comuni.
A few months ago I released the Defederation Investigator, a tool to verify the federation status of Lemmy instances. With this new update, I've expanded it to support multiple Fediverse softwares, including:
- Mastodon
- Misskey
- Mbin
- Pleroma & Akkoma
- Friendica
This works both ways: you can verify which Mastodon (et al) instances have defederated your Lemmy instance, as well as check the federation status of an instance running any of the supported softwares.
Like most of my works, this tool is FOSS and available on my team's GitHub.
Limitations
Many microblogging platforms, Mastodon included, offer admins the possibility of hiding their blocklists from the public. As it turns out many instances have chosen this approach, so the available information can be pretty limited at times.
Also, this update has increased the pool of instances from a couple hundred to over 2 thousand, so query times have increased significantly. You can reduce them by deselecting some softwares from the query page (hint: most fedi instances are Mastodon ones, so by deselcting them you'll cut out over half of the pool).
What about Kbin?
To my knowledge, Kbin doesn't share its federation status through an API like most softwares do. Furthermore, given recent events, I have little faith in the Kbin project. Instead, I chose to support its community driven fork: Mbin.
What about Peertube and Pixelfed?
I tried looking through their API docs and wasn't able to find any endpoints sharing either federation or defederation statuses. If anyone is familiar with any of these softwares and has any ideas on what to do to retrieve such information feel free to contact me, I'd love to add support for both.
What about ...?
Want more softwares? Feel free to propose them. I'd like for this tool to support as many projects as possible.

Context
As you probably now, Hexbear is a fairly large leftist instance, whose users are notorious for being very loud in the communities of every instance they federate with. For a long time they blocked all instances, preferring to remain isolated. Recently, however, they have started allowing some large instances into their allow list.
Yesterday they expanded said list by including the popular sh.itjust.works (SJW) instance.
Some Hexbear users immediately jumped on the train by creating posts in [email protected] making sure everyone was aware of their presence and calling out what they thought was bigotry on SJW's side:
- Example 1
- Example 2, the post included in the meme, now removed
Currently, there's people on both sides calling for mutual defederation, as one Hexbear sees the other party as "bigoted" and "politically illiterate infants" while many people on SJW are just tired of the political spam.
Where do we stand in this mess? Comfortably on the sidelines, enjoying the popcorn while it lasts.
Unlike a certain platform with an orange logo, we aren't keen on sheltering pedophiles. During your stay on Based Count, feel free to make as many wood chipper jokes as you deem necessary.

Idk. Not really sure what this community was about back on Reddit.

My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".
Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:
| Far Left | Centre Left | Centre Right | Far Right |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lemmygrad | Exploding Heads | ||
| Hexbear | Lemmy.ml | Lemmy.world | |
| Beehaw | Pricefield Lemmy | Based Count | sh.itjust.works |
| Blåhaj Lemmy | Divisions by zero | Lemmy NSFW | Hack Liberty |
The good thing about being on Lemmy is that we could bring back ChadGPT at any moment, without having to worry about the admins' banhammer.
Plenty of stuff to do before that can happen, but it would be a fun throwback.
Anyway, here are the links its funniest comment from his first rodeo on r/PCM. I took some creative liberty interpreting some of its comments. Most of those hardly made any sense.
Honourable mentions:
- Never fondle a bot's balls (NSFW)
- ChadGPT is an incel
- True LibRight
- About taxes
- ChadGPT loves you (pt. 1)
- ChadGPT loves you (pt. 2)

Likely NT here, but meditation is awesome. Sometimes when I am particularly stressed or overwhelmed it's kinda hard to get in the right state of mind, it's as if I forget how easy it is to meditate, but when it does click it makes everything that much more simple.
Highly recommended to anyone going through rough times or even people who are fine but would like to have their brain shut up for a little while.
