Another reason to move away from all the US based fediverse instances. Last i checked lemmy.world is US based and so are many others of the top servers.
When did you last check? I thought Lemmy.world was Netherlands-based
Lemmy.world is 100% hosted in Europe. Of course authoritarian groups left and right fantasize about it being hosted in the US for different reasons. Generally when their extreme views are moderated. However those groups also have a lot of control and resources to spread misinformation. Not to mention experience. So I don't find it surprising that a lot of people don't realize it's not.
I checked the location through fedidb.org a while ago and it said US, but i guess that was because of cloudflare then.
Yes. Any sort of automated scraping needs to be double checked. It's generally fine. But for things behind distributor services like cloudflare Etc. The IP return is going to say more about the person connecting to it than the people behind it.
Quick addendum though. Cloud flare and AWS however are both in the United States if I'm not mistaken. And still vulnerable to being compromised by our fascist Administration. But the.world server itself is fine.
Fuck Lemmy.World; Asshole Nazi Apologists!
LOL you guys just can't help yourselves can you? I'm sure it's just a matter of time until a right-wing American fascist supporter comes in here and whines about their freeze peaches being violated by .world because they couldn't be Nazi enough. But as I said extremists all, and no one whose opinion should be valued much.
