How about corporations fuck off? Let us have our own small slice of people own and ran Internet back again.

Similar for my instance.

I blocked them on my instance last year. Fuck threads and any instance that goes along with them.

You’re showing up on my personal instance as well, so I’d say you’re all good on the Lemmy syncing.

Not sure why you’re not syncing on Mastodon, it might just be a time thing? Maybe check back in a day or so?

It is, which is why you have the RIGHT not to use a public space and push your information out to millions of people. You explicitly agreed to it the second you started doing it.

And if it didn’t? If it’s just a simple piece of software made by two people? Should they drop everything to cater to European demands?

Europe invaded the world, then turns around and tells the world to respect its self imposed rule it enforces on others. We can’t even host our own space on the internet without you invading and threatening us to operate your way. The only safety we apparently have is in our small size means we might escape notice.

It’s utter arrogance.

Eh i still dont think itd hold up.

But more reason to hate European arrogance. Imagine if i could go to say your blog, comment my name and address, and sue you for not going into your database and scrubbing it all. Just another way to benefit big companies at the expense of individuals who dont have the tech skills to comply but want to run their own personal sites.

Actually it is :)

Not located in the EU, not targeting the EU, and under 250 employees means no GDPR to worry about.

If it’s an instance open to anyone, it’s up to Europeans to not participate if they don’t want to.

If an entity isn’t in Europe it shouldn’t be a problem at all.

But if you can keep spamming our (heh) a new site for like 99c a domain name, you could do this a lot despite getting banned.

The alternative is something like FediSeer where you can get sites guaranteed by others and block anything not given the all-clear, but that really harms the ability for new sites to appear.

I’m lazy, can you share your email so I can send a copy?

At the end of the day I want to escape corporate spaces, the more companies that come into the Fediverse the more I’m likely to leave it.

It’s great if some people want to access their content, but you can already do that through their services.

What we don’t have is a purely people focused space on the Internet. We need to be steering the Fediverse in this direction, not seek to emulate what we left.

It’ll affect Kbin.

This place is growing just fine already, we don’t need to dump 141 million new accounts into it overnight.

RIP open and user owned Internet movement attempt.

Say Hello to Fediverse+, for only $39.99 a month you can access ad free browsing as your feed is fed only corpo approved posts that have flooded and drowned out any alternative voices.

Yeah and we choose you going somewhere else to play with Facebook.

Where’s the twist?

It’s not about being busy, it’s about being used.

Most subs are dead or just one person posting content trying to kick it off. We need more people for the niche communities to survive and thrive:

Making the sub is easy, it’s getting people to use it that’s hard.
