If we rig the jury to all be Silicon Valley investors and CEOs, you just have to say “AI” and you’ll win the case.

Once they’ve transferred governance to some other entity, sure. That’s gonna take years though, they said so themselves. Standardizing a protocol isn’t something that can be done overnight, and that’s fully their intention with ATProto.

I’m keenly interested in the protocol, but I also question its flexibility as to the content it can be used to post and distribute. That’s something we’ll have to wait for federation to come to see people start playing with. If it becomes a standard, governed by a non-partisan body, and is flexible to a variety of content types, I see no reason to stay with ActivityPub except that the software’s already here.

It’s spying to be an admin? Maybe you should just run your own instance so people aren’t spying on you then.

Yes, it’s completely okay for Ada to defend themselves in response to defamatory claims, and is not proof of harassment nor justification to claim they’re stalking for doing so.

It’s not “stalking” and “harassing,” as you claim in the thread, for someone to defend defamatory claims that were made in public. That’s dumb. Also the fact you keep remaking this thread shows you know you’re in the wrong lmao

IDK where the lemmy admins are based out of, but many countries consider hentai depicting underage characters to be illegal; my country of Canada’s one such country.

Personally I prefer sticking with smaller instances of maybe a few hundred or a thousand users. The more evenly spread out we are across instances, the more democratized the federation is.

You just did.

Hanlon’s Razor.

NZ and Philippines are often early test markets for western markets and asia respectively. I’m thinking it’s likely that one of the marketing guys convinced Elon to slow his roll and that’s why it’s only rolling out to a small userbase, rather than being implemented for every user at once like his bad ideas always are.

For likes, maybe. Retweets? That’s gotta be at least $100/month. That’s not outside the standard for being able to reuse posts from websites like shutterstock, and other sharable media websites.

Any moderation or oversight is considered “abuse”, even if it’s a result of the instance admins completely failing in their due diligence. Really, how poorly did they moderate CSAM as to necessitate their registrar stepping in???

They could even just hide it with CSS

Maybe if there were enough users, federation might resist mod abuse

This is key right here, but users need to be using a diverse set of instances. Lemmy.world needs to stop being “the default”. There shouldn’t be “a default”. Maybe for when you first sign up, but people need to be moving to self-hosted and/or niche interest instances. That’s the best way to prioritize diversity in the ecosystem.

Frankly, anyone who’s on a lemmy.whatever domain or kbin.whatever should be finding smaller, more manageable instances to move to as they discover the fediverse. This will be aided when 0.19.0 comes out in a few weeks and enables the export/import for accounts.

One thing I appreciate about how the incentives of the platform are set up is that, since there’s no global account counter of up/downvotes, there’s really no loss in migrating. As long as I can keep my communities, subscriptions, blocks, and saved posts, I’ll have lost nothing.

Name checks out lol

Yes, I’m saying this with the fact that it’s currently invite only in mind.

Mastodon still sits at king, but BlueSky, another federated platform (though currently not federation enabled) is shooting up the ranks. It might overtake Mastodon by next quarter at this rate. Then Q1 2024 they’re planning on opening up to federation and the floodgates will open.
