Do you think all of lemmy.ml is a single person? In this case its just the decision of a single moderator, nothing to do with admins.

Right I will also have to make a template with these common parts of the release announcement. Instance blocking is not implemented yet, but it uses the same federation library as Lemmy so that will be easy to add when its needed.

Thank you, fixed!

No domestic flight, just Europe -> Texas -> Mexico.

In principle it’s finished, but last time we put it on lemmy.ml for testing there were performance problems and we had to revert. So far it’s not clear what caused those problems, so we need to try again somehow.

Or you guys like to be shouted at. There is no other country that does this.

Not like that, they didn’t let me board my flight from Europe to Texas. Even though I had a connecting flight to Mexico few hours later. Why can’t they have a visa free transit zone like every other country in the world?

I only stopped there for transit on a flight to Mexico. Just before boarding my flight I was told that I need a visa for the US, which is extremely weird because normally airports have transit zones where you don’t need any visa. But apparently the US is special, so you actually have to enter the country before going right back into the airport. This nonsense made me miss my flight.

Also I remember in the airport there was a security guard doing nothing but shouting nonstop that it’s not allowed to carry water. Why not simply put up a sign?

Good reply, like you explain this wouldn’t work. Just one thing:

Lemmy doesn’t aim to be an uncensorable platform.

Consider this: half the migrants are collecting welfare, and half of them are taking jobs.

I will start working on private communities soon.

I dont know about you, but our rice cooker seems quite high tech. It can even talk!

You can always use a knife instead.

Why don’t you post about these stories then?

I would be happy to give an interview, but so far no media seems particularly interested in Lemmy.

@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works This. If youre interested to work on this feature or others, feel free to ask for guidance in the relevant issue, or in the dev chat.

The network is called Fediverse. I don’t see the need for a separate term, there also isn’t a “Tootiverse”.

We will soon get a new round of funding from NLnet, once that is finalized we will publish a blog post with the milestones.

I suppose this could be improved, but not sure how exactly. Afaik there is no issue about this yet, and anyway we lack development resources to implement everything. Sometimes I imagine how much we could achieve if Lemmy had 2000 employees like Reddit.

Admins are legally responsible for anything that gets posted on their server, so they require control. They also put in time and money to keep the server running.

There may be other technologies where all-powerful admins aren’t necessary, like peer-to-peer networks. But then everything gets much more complicated. No more opening a website and entering username and password, now users need to install a client first and use a private key. It’s not clear who is responsible for moderation. Scaling will be much more difficult. Users don’t want to store gigabytes of historical data on their devices, so some servers are still needed. The way Activitypub and Lemmy works is really a hybrid between normal websites which is a well-known paradigm, and p2p which is still experimental. The p2p part is only done on the server because it would be too complex otherwise.
