I’d like a video or gif of the banh mi closing

Why not just build a wikipedia mirror?

All the data is available for free via download, torrent, etc.

Idk I have no complaints about wikipedia to lead me to look for a federated alternative.

Interesting side note: if discord was e2e encrypted, how should they take action on anything?

If a group decides to swat a server and they can’t review themselves, how should admin moderation work?

(Yes this isn’t the current situation, but I’m on the toilet and it intrigued me)

We’re seemingly talking about different things. I don’t think they can put ads next to my content if they scraped it… Then again isn’t this how Google works? They even have caches of a lot of the content so you don’t need to hit the original one… So we know they store the pages.

I see how if federated it’s more of a gray area since it’s federated: so maybe they can put ads? Idk seems like another gray area. I wonder how a ToS can be applied from a legal perspective if the content was federated instead of directly posted. Then again Google just looks at a robots.txt file to figure out what/how to scrape. Maybe that should apply here somehow? Idk.

I’m guessing it’ll take many years for laws to catch up… And they’ll be written by whoever has more money at the time.

You’re completely right.

Defederation is silly here in my opinion. I’d personally prefer more content and more mainstream stuff. We’re basically isolating ourselves. If it’s so great, it’ll flourish; instead we won’t allow it. So much for an open community. :shrug:

We also collectively downvote people who think this which is also silly. Heck even this post is more/less to bully these instances into doing what this group wants.

Reminds me of the bad side of Reddit.

I highly doubt it. The laws haven’t caught up to what you’re saying. Basically what you are saying would make scraping illegal.

As far as I know it isn’t. If it is: please cite a published law article or something similar discussing it.

It only takes looking at your data to figure out your trends, save the trend, and serve you ads.

Think about it: public posts are public. It’s the same as you putting a note in the town square. Anyone can look at it and see the username of who wrote it.

Defederation doesn’t stop that, it just inconveniences people who want to use/see both sides from one login.

Even if you defederate they can harvest the data… I mean it’s an open protocol.

… why? All of this is more / less public information about you? Even if you defederate, they could crawl and get all of this info (except maybe ip).

I think i figured it out, created feature request: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3316 also added another for the ui: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1544

related request (to make it harder to lock self out): https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3309

Has anyone gotten 2FA to work? I tried it, made a qr code locally, scanned it in authy, and wasn’t able to get my instance to accept the code. It would say ‘incorrect_totp token’. … Also can the webui generate the totp qr code in the future?
