Alright, it’s pretty clear to me you don’t actually care about the truth of the matter here, so I don’t really see a point in engaging further.
Feel free to have the last word. Best of luck to you.

If you don’t think Ukraine is on Russia’s doorstep I suggest you brush up on your geography.

it’s difficult to keep things secret when an entire country is suddenly involved in a war that’s literally on it’s doorstep

This description applies to the war with Ukraine as well. Weird that you think this is a point in your favor.

The best part is now all the foundations are here too so when the next big ‘event’ happens Lemmy will be in an even better position to absorb all those users.

Just wait until they secretly replace the trained human safety operator with this:

You are of course correct, the ‘law’ as written is way too vague to actually even apply in many situations. But it is a fun way to call out articles like this!

I would personally say it is more of a rule of thumb for identifying clickbait journalism. But calling it that isn’t catchy enough, much like the first half of this article’s headline 😄

“Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.”

I could see bandwidth being a big issue if the community grows as well, considering images aren’t cached on your local instance so that could easily take down a smaller server or cause a huge unexpected spike in costs.

I feel like we need a good third option, but I’m not even sure what that would look like. Maybe something distributed like IPFS.

Sounds like fair use to me.

That’s one of the most important things about this in my opinion. Enough people moved over to Lemmy/kbin from this incident to kind of pave the way and help improve the platforms so that the next time reddit screws something up and a huge influx of people get a new first impression of the fediverse it will be a more positive experience for them.

I really want to like Halloumi but I find it hard to get past the squeaky texture. Every bite grates my mind.

My understanding is that they are only getting paid the minimum wage while they are actively servicing an order. If they are online but waiting for something to come in they don’t get anything.

Don’t you want users to be on the platform as long as possible to maximize ad revenue? If this was just to force people to pay for verification, why wouldn’t they make that tier unlimited? I honestly can’t even believe this is real.

This will be possible to actually implement on Lemmy, whereas reddit was closed source, and didn’t really care about their communities.

Just curious how you think you might go about this. Do you plan on contributing yourself, forking, or using the community to influence the direction/prioritization of new features?

I believe that was just coincidental timing. Not complaining though, because it made it all much more exciting.
