What cause are they furthering though?

breden ,

No, they gave up their nukes for the promise of Ukrainian independence and it was seen as good deal because Moscow still held sole control over all launch sequences.

breden ,

Is it really a racket though? Most artists are not tech geeks and desire cultivated feeds instead of .. none.

You have no idea what a Nazi is and your usage only waters down its meaning.

breden OP ,

A better question would be what power does he have left? Either he's dependent on instance administrators to be able to interact, or merely follow other users, or he's dependent on instance administrators to not get blocked before the fun even starts. It's inherently undemocratic.

breden OP ,

"Like if instance admins could set a default list of banned instances, and the users could choose to unban those instances for themselves.”
Which is exactly what a list of limited instances would allow the user to do.

breden OP ,

Don't you think it's an inherent problem if the general solution is terrible UX?

breden OP ,

That would be nice, but as long as you don't make it mandatory it doesn't resolve bad actors.

breden OP , (edited )

"People can just look away!" is a terrible analogy cause they wouldn't have to look at an ad if it is hidden. Yet at limiting they would still be able to walk into their store and buy something. Right now blocking is removing the ad, the store and all its personal altogether.

"People who are unhappy can just leave." is the same argument you are trying to impose. To where, i ask you. Nevermind needing to leave your current toots all behind, it's a terrible suggestion and horrible UX.

breden OP , (edited )

Why are you acting condescending while do your best to miss the point?

They absolutely have to look at the ad first

No, they don't. That's what Limit is for.

Its the same reason we have billion dollar corpos in the first place
Now we start to gain on those companies

Who said something about billion dollar corpos?

Looking away is exactly the analogy that fits and you know it.

I don't. Please explain if you know better than i do.

Would I like to nuke meta

Who said something about Meta?

They can leave to one of the other thousands of fediverse servers.

Which are just as likely to be blocked for arbitrary reasons or blocklist bullying. A simple, but prominent example is mastodon.art.

I‘m not sure if you‘re oblivious to this by design. Its the same issue with leaving a co* untry or state that imposes laws you dont like. Does it make more sense to vote? Absolutely.

Yet.. you can't vote..

You‘d be very happy on the threads side of federation from what I hear.

Again, nice of you to assume things for me.

You’re welcome to make your own instance that is totally free for all corpos to exploit and show us all how great that works.

Last but not least, who said something about corps?

To be civil and adjourn to your argument, sure, i hate Meta like the next one and they should be cut off by design, but that was never the point. I am just advocating for a streamlined user experience where one account can interact with everyone, if they choose to do so. A default black veil by admins is perfectly fine to move their instance in the right direction, but why should it be more than that? Every further action is authoritarian and undemocratic.

breden OP ,

What arguments? I made my point clear and yet you're bringing up unrelated topics.

Good luck, i guess.

breden OP ,

A user should be able to interact with every other user if both wish to.

That's the problem, as that isn't possible right now, unless your twitter circle took just the right instances for themselves. Sure there is self hosting, but down that road of argument eventually everyone will be self hosting.

breden OP ,

Please enlighten me then. I'm completely oblivious besides everyone here turning into condescending tones without giving proper answers.

breden OP ,

As far as I understand it, content posted to one server gets stored on every federated server for the other server's users to see.

This is wrong, else every self hosted instance would've been a storage nightmare.

There have been instances that were defederated for posting nazi / racist content, and CSAM

I assume the later is something CP? Yes, those are legimite cases, just like spam/DdoS, but even then in every case i've seen yet, a Limit would've been enough. A pretty good example seems to be qoto.

breden OP , (edited )

I like to emphasize " if both wish to".

If that's included in your view, then what's the point of using a unified protocol? At that point we're more backwards than just using a SSO for everything.

You're probably right on me completely misidentifying the fediverse for what it is, as i expected something like resources shared forums for everyone, but got greeted by admin drama as soon as leaving lemmy for a second. In that sense the fediverse really got a PR issue and users here acting high and mighty to someone not getting their perfect system truly isn't helping it.

Gonna wait for bluesky to play out. ATproto seems a lot more than what i initially expected from activitypub.

breden ,

Which rolls back to the original comment. If their first party app is indeed that profitable where's the marketing and promotion towards potential buyers?
