You have almost 900 post, 9000 comments and you moderate 16 communities. You are a member of the delegate class whose intrinsic power comes from trapping users into their instances and communities by holding their account, history and relationships hostage.

You can prove me wrong and prove there is no friction to escaping your control by leaving the server sh.itjust.works

Consider yourself called out.

I subscribed to the arch gitlab last week and there was a 12 step identification process that was completely ridiculous. It’s clear 99.99% of users will just give up.

Yes you can go elsewhere, but you lose your identity, history, relationship and reputation.

Plus we can have AI read a post history for us and either make a reputational decision, or highlight in the interface how reputable or disreputable tye user is. You could have it collapse but not delete a user’s comment and you could also lower and raise the bar of acceptibility at anytime. We need better tools than a polished BBS descendant.

What really matters is the back-to-nose distance, this gives you the head-per-chop ratio but also drives the max-head-per-chop value which itself depends on the blade weight and max blade height which limited by the ceiling height if inside or the max free standing of the pillars if outside.

There was not a 8 billion people supply chain back then.

Will not happen on lemmy, structurally the power flows from instance owners and their delegates. Their power to shape discourse and association and to steer thoughts of the lemmy user will not be relinquished. The first fundamental block to this, like on mastodon, is their power to silence and eliminate users from lemmy history without recourse and with transparency at their discretion.

I did my research at the heritage foundation.

Communication is not for sale.

This is a great way to do nothing and let the problem fester. The attitude behind every rotten thing we have to deal with now.

1/6 of all lemmy users are on that server. It has been the default recommended server long enough that nothing can be taken for granted about the users of that server.

And this idea that one should give a microsecond of attention to which server to create an account on, is why mastodon is a desert that even twitter refugee don’t want to go to.

Lemmy instances should not even know the usernqmes of their users. User accounts should just be encrypted files being served.

There is 0% possibility the US gov cannot publish a certificate in all major browser that could usurp any dns from a registrar in a country under US dominance.

Just because they haven’t used that card uet doesn’t mean they can’t. The clearnet is already a surveillance cesspit. There is no escaping state forces anywhere on it.

It’s just the europeans being complacent about leaving this capability to the americans. For now they depend un US cyber command for it, and they won’t do it to google for the sole benefit of europeans.

TLS certificate infrastructure is a major national security concern. Sure, for religious reasons it can be controlled by a private entity but the governement is certaily already pullibg all the strings there. The problem in the EU is this control is in America now. So they need to wake up and have their own. Then the can enforce a google ban and seamless redirect to search.eu or whatever. The important thing is to both block google while not breaking the search button on everything that foolishly hardcoded google.com in the code.

One of the reasons to create a domestic redirect of google.com

Oops a billionaire just bought the city square. Enjoy your complimentary freedom in the designated free speech zone. Just don’t protest annoyingly…

Google is a threat. They should know they can be subverted if they continue in their ways with the questionably ethical human experimentation (for instance, undisclosed A/B testing including full context)

What shall I write on the casings?

Buy your free speech, just 16$ per month! No being mean to Elon allowed!

Even the nazi had free speech if you keep it in your.

What a farcical and useless understanding of “free speech” you have.

“It’s not censorship when Elon does it”

Ok but my grandma can’t

What about privacy and actual freedom of speech or curtailling corporate cyberintrusion into oir lives? Any of that?
