People misunderstand what federation needs to do. Email is a great model.
It’s fine to have big providers. What federation does is limit the fuckery possible. Imagine what would happen if GMail started charging $8 a month.
Having the option for competition doesn’t mean you have to use it. It’s enough that it’s possible.
I should repeatedly talk about putting unions into SQL queries.
Are you trapped in the wilderness? If you’ve been abducted by hyenas, hoot like an owl twice.
I disagree about the 25% bit. Federation as a feature is overstressed. It’s very important, but it doesn’t have much of an effect on the user experience.
Federation is the freedom to get away from shitty admins and mods. Federation is the opportunity to revolt.
But you don’t need to be in a constant state of revolution. Just having the opportunity doesn’t mean you have to use it.
I would have suggested just ignoring it for 12-36 hours. She could have waited, or another mod could have handled it.
If you don’t have a local copy you’re likely to lose it.
We need this shit to cool down.
I’m not sure Ukraine agrees with that.

I’m guessing your instance hasn’t blocked Hexbear and Lemmygrad yet.
The best executables with malware actually perform the function you expect them to.
I would gladly pay 50p for each video.
Nebula is $5 for a month and half of that goes to whatever videos you watch.
Especially since parenting is the only thing that’s going to actually work. Do you think kids won’t figure out a VPN? If they heard enough to type “pornhub”, they’ll hear about the one extra step.
And there are worse things on the Internet than porn. Some likely on Roblox.
You’re just going to have to parent your kid with or without this nanny state blocking scheme.
This 702 provision only allows spying on your communications with foreigners, and it’s being used much less now than in the past.
How you feel about that is up to you, but it shouldn’t be construed as a broad ability to spy on Americans without restriction.
A couple counterpoints. First, there’s no such thing as a public secret. They can get our data whether we like it or not. And there’s not much difference between sharing your post through boosting vs just sharing a screenshot of your post.
It might be more productive to make a list of demands, rather than black and white defederation. Defederate until they have proper moderation, offer to federate as soon as they take proper action.
The fact that Libs of TikTok exists on Threads shows their lack of moderation. That group’s entire purpose is targeted harassment campaigns.
Decentralization doesn’t matter until it does. Recruiting people to your specific Mastodon instance is ideal and simple. All they need out of the decentralization concept is to know they can’t be screwed if Elon takes over their instance.
4chan wasn’t like that before 2015. Well, except for the racism part. It was leftish/libertarian.
It’s also the easiest “social media” platform to game. You don’t have to make up a history for each user. You don’t have to get upvoted. You don’t even really need to make sense.
That will likely happen to the Fediverse as well, for the same reasons.
Are they really Marxist though? I feel like a real Marxist wouldn’t be making excuses for Russia and China.
!risa@startrek.website also doesn’t post an overwhelming amount like the other meme sub (which I can’t recall because I have it blocked).
It’s not. It’s an important feature. It’s not a central feature.
That’s like saying two factor authentication is a central feature of Twitter. It’s important, yes, but it’s not central.
