There are domains you can register privately, if that’s a concern.

The main advantage is not having an admin block you from talking to certain people by defederating the instance they use.

Somewhere I won’t be bothered, like Tristan da Cunha or the Pitcairn Islands

This guy is being reasonable, get the pitchforks!

Nothing is private on the fediverse, and Mastodon’s bodge only gives the illusion of privacy. There should be zero expectation that any fediverse software will follow their non-standard extensions.

What happened? Why did github block them?

It demonstrates that nothing on the fediverse is private, and bad hacks that pretend otherwise are a terrible idea.

There’s easily over a thousand fediverse instances at this point, having to whitelist them all would be impractical.

Hyperbole

Some forum software is starting to support activitypub with plugins. If they add the plugin then you can follow and interact with the forum from Lemmy. The best option for everyone is to start pestering forum admins to add those plugins so they get users and Lemmy gets more content.

Long term creating migration scripts for popular forum software like phpBB, so content, users, etc, can be moved to a custom Lemmy instance would be an option.

Helium was interesting, but they locked it down so you can only use their proprietary hardware for access points, it seems kinda scammy.

IPFS is used by several archive projects like Anna’s archive and libgen.

Meshtastic is a distributed local mesh network for text messaging.

Throw in a few crates of tea to replace the ones lost in that unfortunate boating accident and we’ll consider it.

He’s somehow less of a psychopath than any real life bourgeoisie. He’s given Homer his job back like 12 times, and apparently pays him enough to own a house and support a housewife and three kids.

They’d probably melt it down instead, just to avoid giving it back.

I’ll add that every other self driving car company has a pretty good safety record, specifically because they do use LIDAR and RADAR so they can see better than humans.

Or a badly painted sign that says “Free charging”

All for something that could have been a zoom meeting.
