Good so far. Communities here are less active and I am still using old.reddit.com for stuff that has no equivalent community here yet, but just gonna give it time and re-search for the missing stuff every so often to see if any of it has been added anywhere.
Tried lemmy.world as a reddit refugee but with the performance issues they’re experiencing, quickly went looking for another instance with better performance and a decent amount of extra content. Lemmy.ml is blocked at work (.ml TLD is freenom so prone to abuse) and registration is closed anyway, so decided on lemm.ee.
Far better speed, a good amount of content locally, and few/no errors at the moment.
I actually do side work for a nonprofit that provides free web hosting. At least with my organization, sending an abuse report will get the user’s account suspended until they can look at it. If what they were doing was blatantly illegal (e.g. a phishing site), they just get banned entirely. I’m one of 2 or 3 people who deals with the reports.
On the other side as someone sending reports, I can say that some companies care more than others. I’ve had success getting abuse taken down from 1&1, Hostinger, and Microsoft. That said, I’ve had GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, and a few others ignore abuse reports entirely, and I had Weebly actively refuse to remove a phishing site.
My experience is that hosting companies tends to be more responsive than domain registrars at getting abuse removed, if you can figure out who is hosting the content behind the domain. The annoying part is that most just use cloudflare these days to hide the origin.
It’s because they likely have an ancient backend that can’t fit it in the database field…
