Does it though? You can still put up a fork somewhere else as long as you uphold the license right? Unless I guess in the case where the license explicitly disallows forks, but I don’t think that’s very common (can you even do that?).

Because CPU registers are all powers of 2, i.e. exponential in this fashion. And it’s also just the same reason - 64 is high enough, why go to 96 or 80 or something?

The GDPR is actually unfortunately widely unenforced, aside from the very biggest tech companies perhaps.

Yes but how will they enforce it? How can they possibly discover such a thing? It seems impossible.

How are they even going to enforce this? What prevents me from just using an E2EE message service that doesn’t do chat scanning?

I’d say yes but it also really depends where you go. I used to host Feddit.dk at DigitalOcean, it was expensive af for like no hardware at all. Now I use Hetzner instead and it feels reasonable, especially their server auction.

It attracts a different audience, so in aggregate it seems like your community is suddenly bigger because 1+1=2 right? What you don’t realize is that you’ve divided your community into two separate groups with possibly different wants, needs and cultures.

Unless that “one place” is an open, federated standard that allows anyone to participate with their own self-hosted server - i.e. “one place” = the fediverse, then it’s fine!

Nice avatar lol

It is only for admins and mods. Tbh I think it should just be allowed for anyone to see.

I don’t think they are. The closest thing is hashtags but tags aren’t really a thing in ActivityPub as far as I’m aware. This kind of system will also always depend on people correctly tagging their stuff of course.

Exactly my thoughts as well :)

An application doesn’t have to be an essay. Feddit.dk has an application that literally just requires a sentence or two. It’s really not a big barrier to entry.

Some instances may not want to use democracy to decide on what to block. But some web of trust would be nice perhaps. Like I trust an instance and if that instance blocks another instance, maybe I’d block it too.

It is relatively common in that it happens regularly, but people thankfully downvote it so it rarely lands in peoples’ feeds.

I know there isn’t anything like this now, I’m basically just theorycrafting how it should/could function :)

There is if you wish to change instance, for example if your admins do something you don’t like. That’s a perfectly valid reason.

We can disagree, it’s okay. You don’t have to downvote just because you disagree.

It is an issue if you change instance, which you may do more often than creating new accounts on traditional social media. And again, I just find it kind of unwelcoming.

Maybe automatically creating a report to just check the post for spam when a new user posts would be nice? Then a mod can check it out but it’s not removed automatically or blocked.

near impossible to enforce, due to the federated nature. Server admins could whitelist

What if you could automatically federate with any instance requiring an application, but anything else you would need to whitelist? Maybe that could work.

account age requirement and comment requirement before posting

This can also be very unwelcoming to new users though. Reddit often feels like a closed place because so many subs have karma requirements. I’d prefer we didn’t go there.

We should rather stop allowing sign ups without an application. The captchas are not good enough.
