Beehaw defederated from LW, not the other way around IIRC
NOT_RICK
Still not really sure why LW defederated that community; I don’t think I ever saw any directly hosted infringing content. Sick of using an alt just to browse the piracy comm
I’ve mentioned torrenting in here and I don’t think I’ve had those comments removed, if that’s what you’re getting at.
I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted
Reddit autohides posts that mention Lemmy.world?
Yeah for the second point you bring up, I’m not sure how that would be substantially different than the stuff that Reddit collects. They do a ton of fingerprinting to find ban evaders to my knowledge. All that info is just one subpoena away. At least there are fediverse instances outside US jurisdiction.
Here’s hiddenstill’s main concerns. It sounds like they’re open to considering Lemmy, but they definitely need some reassurance
-
Can Lemmy can scale to the size required if trans content was banned on reddit.
-
I couldn't find much information on Lemmy's moderation tools. Currently this sub attracts a lot of hate and chasers, which moderation easily takes care of. In the past the have been excessive amounts, but reddit has cracked down on it, and provides tools to limit it (not very good ones). Lemmy would be unusable without this.
-
Lemmy works by sharing data across multiple instances (computers) and it appears there seem to be privacy concerns about the amount of data on users that is shared.
-
What is to stop the owners of the instance shutting it down, or the data being lost for any other reason? Although not a corporate it makes no difference. There would be a massive loss of knowledge and history.
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone, don’t feel the need to reply or reach out to hiddenstill if you’re not comfortable with it, but I thought you may be the best person to speak to many of these concerns
I trust in the power of people to self-organize, self-regulate, and self-police.
Isn’t someone deciding they don’t like an instance’s content and blocking it themselves exactly what you’re describing?
It’s important to find joy where you can in tough times even more than the good times. Take some solace in the fact that some Trump allies in the Chiefs locker room a fat L last night.
GO BIRDS
Pat Mahomes is a Trump guy IIRC, as is Harrison Butker. You probably saw Butker’s “get back to the kitchen, ladies” graduation commencement speech he gave last May. The good guys won
I should have been in there, but my eyes were just too glued on the belting I was witnessing. It’s definitely a bummer that a lot of non-tech or news communities aren’t there yet in terms of participation, but at least we’re not making some Rich assholes even more rich on here!
Enjoy your trip!
