Yeah, it’s not hard - but it requires pretty good tech is what the poster meant.


Poutine is from Quebec. The best hockey team in the NHL is from Quebec.

I wouldn’t say the NHL is a major soft-power thing globally. It’s not bad, I guess. But it’s not like only Canada is of note in that area.

Also in Quebec they consume far more media produced locally.

True, but the media produced locally is not really consumed internationally. My point was about soft power here.


But it seems to me that the French-speaking parts punch well above their weight culturally.

Does it? How are you evaluating this?


I mean I simply don’t think they will bother regarding the many Linux variants.

Same reason they won’t bother the Threadiverse. I doubt they even know what it is.


Oh we’re talking about OS, not user-to-user services online.

There are so many variants of Linux they could never get on top of it.


I mean I don’t see how it’s plausible how government regulatory bodies even go to the level of trying to micromanage a network that had 40k monthly visitors tbh


Age verification aside, the likelihood is that eventually the Threadiverse, if it grows, will change as to require manual approval of new instances anyway just on a pure spam issue and abuse level.


How is it they can meaningfully enforce it?

The notion that every single user-to-user service should incorporate invasive age-ID tools in itself is deranged and dystopian.


How on earth would the EU possibly do this given the entire structure is federated?

They likely don’t even know what Lemmy is.





You could just make a “trusted users” role for comms for this

No leaderboards


I bought this up with feeds and community names clashing before and got told that it’s hard to unravel.


Feeds also cannot share the same name as communities, unfortunately. But I don’t see that. But I wonder if it also is the same for users…

Your username may be the problem.


On Lemmy, even more so than Reddit, the hive mind is quick to downvote people who have different opinions.

I don’t think that’s true at all. I’d also argue Lemmy/Piefed is structurally more resistant to it on the grounds of upvotes/downvotes not being private.

Well there will always be instances that defederate almost nothing. There are now.


You can speculate another platform might come up that some hardcodes in it the impossibility to deplatform other instances, but all I’m saying is that Lemmy and Piefed will not do it.

But even then, it’s a stretch because the tools required to remove seriously illegal content are the part of the same tools that would function as defederation tools. So it probably can’t be hardcoded out.


It is 100% impossible lol. Rimu won’t do it. Lemmy devs won’t do it.


They can block for themselves. This for me comes down to a thing I have not talked about in a awhile but what I would like to see in the federation. I would like no defederation or unreversable domain blocking.

This will never ever happen.
