companies are capable of operating under different rules in different jurisdictions, they do it all the time. just look at how they handle data in EU due to GDPR vs how they do it everywhere else. I don’t see why this case would be much different.
ok but I’m not in the EU nor is my instance so that doesn’t really apply to me.
yeah, I see them being posted into their DB (and therefore federated as) a post as if they are a user. they can earmark that post as an ad and properly present it as such in their own platform but anyone federated would see the post as-is.
they could either obfuscate how they mark it as an ad or just not provide that information at all to federating instances.
then I can totally see them claiming they don’t control other instances and can’t be responsible for whether or not the federated ads are presented as such.
they technically could do this by representing ads with posts.
ribbed for his pleasure
but if they don’t walk the knife’s edge of allowing fascism, how are the ultra-wealthy Democrats supposed to make line go up?
my preference is Xitter (pronounced shitter)
America’s liberals have wanted gun control. go far enough left and you get your guns back.
and that’s unfortunately only true because the greedy groups have destroyed all the non-greedy ones by slaughter or forced participation
we just need to make sure that we don’t rely on their instance(s) too heavily so we only have minimal losses when they eventually do drop support.
not that i don’t think you could ask about them here, but there are a number of self host communities that you should check out, here are two of the bigger ones:
i learned about GNU Taler the other day from one of the OS communities
that’s all very fair, i guess i was just hoping federation was at least on a long term roadmap
yeah, i agree that i don’t think federation of something like this would be through ActivityPub (matrix has its own). i guess it just feels unfortunate that if users want to access communities across multiple instances, users will have to have separate logins and identities for each one.
i looked into revolt and pretty concerned with these two stances of the project
We don’t think federation is beneficial to Revolt
We have a variety of monetisation ideas lined up internally, with these, it is not my intention for us to paywall features and I find it unlikely we would ever do that considering it would contradict what we’re trying to achieve.
like, to me it seems they want to get communities invested and then later monetize in ways those communities don’t yet know about?? idk that sounds extremely sus. especially when competing instances will fight against network effects with no federation.
the problem occurs when most of the content comes from Meta (they will likely have the vast majority of Fediverse users). especially if major communities exist on their instance. when meta decides to no longer support fedi integration, those in the fedi are forced to decide between staying with their communities by ditching the fedi and moving to threads or having many of their communities ripped away.
meta will do this at some point as a play to draw users to them, but we can decide if we want to be affected when that comes to pass.
Facebook could just create fake users that post ads as content
just a reminder that IQ tests may have the goal of measuring intelligence, but that says nothing of their precision and accuracy
I wish we would just keep adding E’s so long threads would be REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
which also happens to be the noise I make when I see them.
don’t worry, there’s a lot of men that get fucked too
