There’s also no guarantee that the rel=me points to a fediverse instance, mastodon already has logic to deal with thus without reinventing the wheel with what’s effectively a proprietary solution.

A neat way would be to re-use one the 200 already existing standards like rel="author" or even rel="me" (which mastodon already supports anyway). This solution just is just NIH-driven development.

He means they are trying not to be the Nazi bar, and added an homeopathic amount of moderation to the platform.

There’s no reason why 114MB of static content over 5 minutes should be an issue for a public facing website. Hell, I probably could serve that and the images with a Raspberry Pi over my home Internet and still have bandwidth to spare.

I think they are throwing stones at the wrong glass house/software stack.

How the fuck is no one in jail over this?

It depends on the kind of discussion. Incentivizing other people to break the law is illegal in most places

And when it goes to the court you move under the nearest bridge.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to contain the blast radius.

Why does it need to be a fediverse alternative, instead of icalendar/rfc-5545? Using activitypub for this sounds like a privacy nightmare.

What’s the difference between this and https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-07d7-a-custom-url-scheme-and-web-based-protocol-handlers-for-linking-to-activitypub-resources/3588?

I think he means he’s running the name server for his zone (i.e. the authority for subdomains of his domains), which of course doesn’t help if the top level domain gets suspended and the NS record gets deleted.

Yes. Basically any email client would translate better to a Usenet client.

Reddit and Lemmy have a fundamentally different way to structure content and interactions compared to Usenet.

What people mean is that they want an algorithm that maximizes dopamine production to the detriment of their mental health.

The thing, is that since the Fediverse is not ads supported, no one has an incentive to trap the users in the apps.

It’s opt-in (as in by default you are not going to show up on any search)

They have a huge market share in Europe too. And it’s very hard to compete with them, because in online retail the advantages given by economy of scale are brutal.

Dude, let me try to explain how this works in simple terms. If you are comparing platforms using political systems, then Reddit would be fascist regime with a strong version of the Führerprinzip - granted it’s mostly a benevolent one, but if you piss off the Früher/CEO you get the stick (see what happened to the mods that rebelled). Lemmy is like a loose confederation of city states, each with its own system, ranging from anarchical to as dictatorial as Reddit, but all designed in a way that if you don’t like how your local instance works you can just emigrate to another one. You are even free to make your own hut in the woods (run your own instance).

Based on this, choose where you want to be.

I assume it’s mostly misskey.
