I mean I know why ppl are scared it will kill off the fediverse, but the only thing that can kill off the fediverse is the Devs. As long as they don’t sell it or start involving a bigger company in the development, we are fine. And pull requests are transparent and therefore not a thread with enough common sense.

I see the risk but I don’t think it’s that imminent.

As if bbc wouldn’t get you upvoted to oblivion

Man there’s literally only one thing stopping me from using mastodon and that’s likes.

I know marketing, and shit, and likes sometimes skew things, but without likes any toot is given the same weight, no matter if it’s a good or bad toot. There’s no way for me to see through the chaos that emerges from this.

I know there are reasons not to do this, but I damn well know I’m not the only one, and I’m sure it would make it more appealing for a lot of ppl unfamiliar with mastodon. You could even make it optional so ppl can turn it off and there would be no harm done.

I mean faking reviews is literally violating laws in some countries, so it’s not like there’s no basis.

I don’t actually know what bad actors can do.

Well, you’re not gonna like this but every pentesting / vulnerability scan starts with a port scan. It’s really there to probe a PC for anything interesting. Although it’s not strictly illegal because you’re just kindly asking a PC to handover any meta information on what is currently running on the PC exposed to the internet, the trajectory is clear and in the contrast the goal is opaque which makes it shady af.

try oceanofpdf maybe…

unfortunately liftoff is not at all working for me currently.

I logged in and now my subscribed community posts are just empty, which is the whole point.

I do wanna see where they go tho.

don’t worry, they’re coming. a bunch of bigger third party app Devs have said they will make an app for Lemmy, and that will include iOS apps as well I’m sure. it’s just a matter of time.

Definitely should put that on the git issues with log files and stuff.

that is giving me deja vu

he already hinted to pulling out of EU Code of Practice

I’m very interested what his game plan is, because he kind fucked himself by firing too many law compliance employees, at least thats what I remember.

For some reason, this whole chaos is more true to the Reddit I know than everything has been for the last years.

I mean he always has the power to strongarm everyone else.

But the consequence is giant boycotts and decay. Idk if winning is the right word. It’s like going to war and declaring a win because both nations are destroyed.

Apple is really testing how long it takes until they get sued over it

In the past I would be pessimistic but nowadays the EU has been far more active with this stuff

It’s so impressive to see how the whole community is coming together to basically rebuild Reddit, but open source, and with all the feature everyone needed.

I’ll stay here forever if we keep it up.

Ah yes republicans making the best case against republicans.

Iirc there’s no public reason he was chosen, I assume it’s a combination of what moderators are interested in, an opportunity to pay homage, the possibility for John Oliver to support it, and possibly to get a Last Week Tonight episode out of it for even more attention.

Does someone know how this compares to oceanpdf?

It is. GDPR in the EU dictates that every user which requests their information has to get it in 30 days, and every user who removes their information has to be able to get it removed (I think the time span for that is even shorter, so more pressure for the server admins)

Fmhy are just providers of the instance and that’s what their general communities focus on. For information regarding the high seas, this is the community you want to look into.

Yeah ppl already predicted it’s probably gonna be a battle of who can place the most shorts in the least amount of time on Reddit stock when they go IPO. There’s no reason to go through with it any longer, it will only hurt his company more.
