But I also feel that any random kid shouldn’t be able to just go to these sites and see porn freely.

So they will just go to another site that doesn’t have age verification and doesn’t implement any security measures instead. Big sites are required to age check people before they are allowed to upload anything, that is not the case for most of the internet.

All age verification does is aggregate personal information and make it easy target for bad actors to steal. Instead of needing to go thought 100 sites, now that information & identities will be tied to a single database.

It’s also a slippery slope, since the same adult content is available not just on dedicated adult sites, but mainstream social media. Lemmy, Mastodon, Twitter, TikTok, Twitch (just recently wanted to allow nudity). Do you really want to have your identity tied to your online activity?

That’s what I said.

While copyright applies automatically

You can’t enforce it without it being registered. Courts will reject any claim that is filled with unregistered copyright.

In very limited circumstances. While copyright applies automatically, it has to be registered with the Copyright Office for you to be able to enforce it. I doubt Lemmy posters register each of their posts with the Copyright Office.

Nobody. It’s a public forum, anyone can take what you said and use it as their own.

From technical side, instance admins, community moderators, and you have the ability to remove them.

This looks nice and that wallpaper is lit. I would maybe increase the saturation on the red color to make it a bit more sharp.

elest.io seems to be OSS focused host where you pay per hour and they offer an option to move to any other host.

It’s natural progression once initial hype wears off. As long we manage to keep core amount of users it should grow slowly over time.

That sounds like a good thing.

The image is worth the size of 177,5 MB. It looks out of this world.

It’s probably just your browser still having the page cached when the “hack” happened, because I don’t see any new reports and the attack vector was patched. You can click Ctrl+R or Ctrl+F5 to force reload the page to remove the cache.

I think it’s a distraction from the actual interactions. Same way karma is.

I’m all for supporting instances and open source developers, but any kind of reward for a donation creates wrong incentives. Donation is called a donation because it’s a gift without expecting something in return.

Lemmy definetely should add an option to delete all content when deleting the account, but I think the reason it doesn’t is that it would leave big gaps in conversations under posts (e.g. if I were to delete my comments in this thread, your comments would make no sense for anything else reading then). Alternatively they could just unlink it from the account and just leave the post/comment with some placeholder name like deleted.

Sorry I answered a bit out of context. Right to Erasure applies no matter the size, it’s the processing of the data records that only applies to companies with 250+ employees.

And Lemmy is GDPR compliant now as if a post/comment is deleted it is removed within 30 days. But it falls down to each instance that federates to process those delete requests. But deleting your account doesn’t delate the content you generated not does it claim to do so.

GDPR only applies to companies with 250+ employees.

I am sure.

You can appoint a new mod yourself before leaving, or your own account from a different instance. But if you are the only mod when you delete the account then yes. Instance admins can still apoint someone else though.
