Echo Dot

I am fairly sure that the comic isn’t that old. So I think usb-c is what it’s alluding to.

Because markdown has committed the worst of old programming sins. It has no standard.

However I’m pretty sure that Lemmy has a standard so there’s not really much excuse.

So just block them.

Join literally any other server.

That’s the point of distributed networks they’re supposed to be distributed if 80% of the content is on two servers that’s not distributed. People should move off ml and world regardless of their politics simply because it’s not a good idea to have everything all in one place.

Surely the problem is that people are bringing politics into forums which clearly don’t require it. Like, why would the political stance of someone matter in a technology forum?

So you are saying that you ban anyone that wants a intelligent conversation and mildly disagrees with you?

Fortunately logic and reality are not really things that dictatorships really all that interested in. So I guess carry on.

It’s Google, probably just bought them on the off chance that they would ever do anything with them.

They are a company where the left hand doesn’t talk to the right hand very often anyway.

They even use youtu.be as their URL shortener

.io is the British Indian ocean’s territory, probably not really a risk i doubt anything’s going to happen there.

They don’t need to take them to court they can just block meta if they act badly there’s no need to sue.

How? Nobody is going to switch platforms, so The only uses that they will have will be the users they bring and some users will switch away from meta to a more free alternative I can only see the numbers of users going up.

I see no point in preemptive action. I mean at least wait until they go live. I want to see if they actually are a problem you never know it might just bring some interesting new content.

I can only assume that people who have a problem with defederating from Meta are either Meta trolls or lack the cognitive abilities to participate

Anyone who disagrees with me is an idiot and I can be rude to them and ignore them

The isn’t a linked article the guy is just an idiot.

What do you want a different instance so will this instance does has no effect on you

Meta have yet to prove they can actually implement it though. I feel like we’re worried about a theoretical, rather than an inevitability.

I seen a lot of people post this and they always think that the counterpoint to that would be just don’t allow them to build exclusive features into the standard. If they add a feature, fine but it has to be for everyone.

If they start adding exclusive features then the developers can block them at a API level. The open source GNU license still gives the original developers creative control over the project and they can shut down anything that is not contributing to open source standards. Is there a need for individual instances to take action unless you think that the developers won’t block Meta, and they hate meta, so they will. But right now there’s nothing for them to do because Meta haven’t actually done anything yet.

Yeah Meta is a terrible company, I don’t actually believe anyone is arguing otherwise, but the point is that if they are defenderated all that will happen is that people who are on instances that defederate from them won’t be able to see or interact with their content. However the inverse will not be true, so the data will still be scrapable. So if your argument for defederating is that you want data privacy then you’re arguing about a moot point. You don’t get data privacy either way.

Now just to be clear here, I am not saying that defederating from them is a bad idea I’m just pointing out that the argument of privacy is moot. The only way to prevent your data being scraped by facebook would be to not use activitypub at all.

Not of course that that has anything to do with this topic

Well they ask the question I don’t understand why you would respond with hostility either answer the question or don’t comment.

Well like Mastodon does. It’s not exactly a smooth integration. I have no idea how Lemmy posts would show up I’m assuming almost as a separate tweet equivalent.
