A post from 2 months ago which explained the context: https://lemmy.world/post/20694710

I just had a look, nothing has changed, the website is still using Lemmy’s content to pretend to be active

    One request, whenever you post about clubsall, can you please tag me so I can also participate? Thank you.

    Sure, I’ll make sure to keep you tagged. I was not sure you were using your Lemmy account, so that’s why I did not tag you in this post.

    as long as there is not meaningful traffic, it should be ok

    You are channeling the traffic from 44k monthly active users to your website without giving credit to the instances where the content is created.

    I just checked, the homepage of Clubsall shows content from !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone, while lemmy.blahaj.zone have you defederated: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/instances, as “clubsall.com” is in the blocked instances.

    But if we look at the linked instances, there is now “api.clubsall.com” and “clubsall-api4.renchesterjramos.workers.dev”

    @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone FYI

    If we block all new sites on hunch or rules as we make up, it will kill anyone trying to do something new.

    Everyone here is trying to make a new platform. Every Lemmy server, as well as Mbin or Piefed, federate content both ways, and allow to go to the original posts from the federated copies.

    In the meantime, can we have a discussion about a set of rules for clarification and fairness?

    Every admin make their own rules. Feel free to convince them, a few of them are in this thread.

      This is because federation is fairly complex and we are new to this and do not fully understand. I really do not know why we are getting content from lemmy.blahaj.zone when they have blocked us. The content is coming from federation, so how is it being pushed to clubsall after blocking?

      You are channeling the traffic from 44k monthly active users to your website without giving credit to the instances where the content is created. In our last discussion, you said “your site is small, so people just ignore it. Should it become more active, then users are probably going to call their admins to defederate.” ClubsAll has not grown. This time you are saying we are not attributing. It seems even you change mind on to what is fair.

      My request stays the same, give us some breathing room until some traffic threshold. Is that fair?
