If the BlueSky protocol offers tangible benefits over ActivityPub, the BlueSky protocol could become the basis for ActivityPub 2.0. I don’t know much about the details, though.

Lemmy.world has kind of awful moderation, which means people who are trolls or bad actors have lived here for a very long time despite multiple reports.

Maybe people shouldn’t overflow the moderation pipe with reports then just because posts are idiotic. There’s the downvote button for that. I’m just a guy with a full-time job and personal life who on occasion may get ill with a cold or so. So when I log onto Lemmy on PC and I see a dozen of reports having popped up about posts being reported as being “in bad faith”, posts that may be genuinely idiotic but not containing any personal attacks / racism /…, I’m already checking out. Not every idiotic posts needs moderator intervention. Sometimes a minus 25 score is enough. So when there are a dozen of reports about merely idiotic posts, I might miss a genuinely intervention-worthy one.

the counterargument seems fairly strong.

Lemmy isn’t compatible with Threads.

so that if Threads were ever federated with, the sheer VOLUME of content would quickly overwhelm the ability of the mods to keep up.

No. Threads has no communities, Threads cannot post to Lemmy communities. That’s fearmongering.

if Threads were to join the Threadiverse

Threads is already part of the Fediverse but on a per-account basis. It’s compatible with Mastodon and other Twitter-likes that use ActivityPub. Lemmy can’t read Threads posts, just as Lemmy can’t read random Mastodon posts, only the ones Mastodon users explicitly posted into Lemmy communities.

Didn’t happen with MP3.

Someone re-parented a variation to prevent it being public domain until 2040.

So the variation cannot be used. That’s irrelevant for a file format. Some company could, for example, patent a more efficient encoding technique but the resulting file format is still public domain. So at worst an open source encoder would need to be slightly inefficient because it uses the traditional technique.

Someone will most likely patent hack it in order to reclaim it, then try to patent troll about it… Because corporate people are jerks.

How? If the tech is older than 25 years, it’s prior art no matter what. MP3 is fully free for the same reasons.

The incident strains ties between Iran and Russia

No, it doesn’t. The Ayatollah cares as little about his people as Putin does.

The Swiss had a great relationship with the Nazis, so this isn’t out of character.

do you really feel it in DE?

No. It affects some data traffic between Finnland and Germany, not some random home network. There are enough fallback routes.

I’ve been trying to locate what I messed up in my home network earlier today

Your HOME network? I don’t think you know what the difference between LAN and WAN is.

Interest in hobbies related to commercial brands (following sports, movie franchises, etc.)

When you even mention that you’d like to follow brand accounts, people start shouting at you how commercial scum needs to be banned/defederated.

Of course people move to platforms where their interests are represented.

Modern NATO weapons and which ammunition? Which NATO tactics without air superiority? Ukraine doesn’t even get enough bullets to fire, let alone rotate troops to relieve physical exhaustion.

And sadly a successful one. Works all over the front line.

Honestly Merz does a lot of shit, but he is for pro Ukranian action, which is relativly unpopular.

It’s not unpopular, the Putin bootlickers just shout louder. The majority still approves supporting Ukraine: https://koerber-stiftung.de/presse/mitteilungen/deutsche-wollen-mehr-in-europaeische-sicherheit-investieren/

You can post to Lemmy communities from Mastodon. Often the result is crap like that.

Also, what would even be the end of the war? By Putin logic complete and unconditional surrender by Ukraine would also be the end of the war.

Merz’s threat is not “fuck off behind 1991 borders within 24 hours”. Complete smoke and mirrors shitshow.

Bro what

No presentation slides or any meaningful content, just a photo of himself. Borders on self-promotion rather than actual Fediverse-related content.

So you posted a photo of yourself?

Meanwhile Lemmy World still on 0.19.3… 🥶

Polish deputy prime minister says otherwise:

By asking Poland to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky is attempting to get Warsaw involved in the war, Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said in an interview with Radio ZET on Nov. 4. https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-wants-to-drag-poland-into-war-with-russia-polish-deputy-pm-claims/

It’s a choice by the Polish.
