If I had the power to, I would’ve pinned this comment as it’s helpful to those still using sms for backups👍

forget traveling

I’d rather get both vaccines just to survive

a friend unfortunately got covid from child care and they’ve been burdened with brain fog ever since.

I can’t imagine what the longterm side effects might become with the mixing of endemic covid. best of luck to anyone skipping vaccinations

There’s a couple things I’ve noticed while using Lemmy and Mastodon:

Admins and moderators have a sort of distributed power as it’s somewhat no longer consolidated to a single instance like Reddit anymore,

• and so there’s more incentive to making good decisions for not only for oneself but for the collective (reason being long-term instance sustainability)
  • therefore this system is likely to incentivize admins and moderators to make better long-term decisions rather than chasing short-term goals.
  • anytime I see systems that encourages people to make better long term decisions that makes me happy :D

additionally the fediverse gives more leeway to user choice as you’re no longer locked down to an instance

• (this of course changes based on the instance federation/defederation situation which stems from the instance admin’s/admins’ past and current actions.)
• this allows users to participate on multiple communities using one account instead of having to create multiple accs

the emergent complexity of the systems that builds the fediverse seems like it’s currently on a good path for building sustainable homely communities, so I’m cautiously optimistic

so far there’s areas I can see that could use some QOL improvement for online discussions boards/forums and Lemmy’s current systems seems like a good point to branch out from

huh reading the article it seems like a somewhat similar method of pin-to-pad contact solutions seen in computer hardware (see modern fans from Corsair, Phanteks, Thermaltake)

based on the comments some say that they can’t sue but I would disagree

If Tutanota is an unwilling participant than this violates the principles of consent, copyright, and penetration testing

Tutanota lawyers might want to take a look as they might have a case.

btw I AM NOT A LAWYER, please ask a real lawyer for legal advice
again I AM NOT A LAWYER

if

instance protectionism

is occurring due to prisoner’s dilemma then there also exists a sustainable positive-sum solution as the fediverse and Lemmy is playing by the rules of the infinite prisoner’s dilemma:

hopefully it results with some actions being taken rather than promises being made

promises means jack shit atm

This is actually incredible lol
I love it
