Unsuprising.

I was following this case all week and the FTC really embarrassed itself. If this injunction was granted it would have been even more s suprising than the CMA coming out of nowhere to block the acquisition.

(Defacto) Dictatorships don’t belong in the EU.

We have our hands full with Hungary, thanks.

I think this could be a ticking DOS time bomb.

Someone manages to spam upload massive files to the largest Lemmy instances could wipe out a ton of smaller ones.

Not to mention scalability wise this seems like a nightmare… eventually the largest Lemmy instances will have petabytes of media data with 100s of gbs coming in per day, giving other instances no chance to sync with them.

I think the system architecture needs a significant review. This won’t scale.

And a continent is just a really big island.

Therefore a continent is actually just a big mountain.

Porn is literally what drives technology innovation.

Porn on Reddit was probably a good 10-20% of all it’s traffic.

As history has shown, a lot of the features that come to Lemmy will be added because porn. Embedded videos for example.

Yea but the difference is most instances have ethical reasons for banning certain content.

Meta could randomly decide anti-meta content doesn’t belong on their platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is already the case.

This article has been circulating around the fediverse and I think it greatly illustrates why it's so important to defederate from large corporations before they can get a foothold. It's about so much more than just them getting our data.

Let say you comment somewhere that you make minimum wage, their algorithm picks up on it and now they have you as a low wage earner in their database.

This is a massive over simplification but illustrates the point.

I hate shorts and I’ve unsubscribed from any channels that make shorts.

I don’t subscribe to you for a 30 second adhd friendly clickbait video. Major respect lost for some channels.
