Wait did sh.itjust.works do anything? I thought the story was that beehaw.org cut them and lemmy.world off, but only for people browsing on beehaw.

What happens to your account on a federated server if that one fails though?
The CEO is an absolute bastard. He’s twisted the words of his “friend” Aaron Swartz, the real founder of the site, and bastardised his creation while trashing his legacy.
The blackout isn’t pointless, it’s just not yet enough. Reddit needs to die, and the blackout is a step towards that. It started as a way to try and get admin to change, and in that respect it has and will fail, but it is the first step to reddit going the way of digg.
We could use alternatives, but Lemmy is the best!
Screw community names, I want instance agnostic URLs for posts and comments.
Right now
lemmy.ml/comment/123456
andlemmy.ml/comment/123456
are two different comments, and there is no simple way to find one comment on another instance (so you can interact with it from your logged in account). What we should have islemmy.ml/comment/123456@lemmy.world
to point to a comment made on another instance, then you can just change the instance name after the@
to find the comment (or post) on any other instance.
