It's pretty breathtaking that they're taking a preemptive approach on such a large server, feels like they could have federated for a while and assesses but nope.
Feels like a pretty big call to look at a place that has 20k users and think they're all trolls and bots. I get that people aren't interested in differing opinions / discourse nowadays, but defederation before even giving it a go feels a little weak.
It seemed to work well here since it's introduction. These multinational juggernauts like Facebook and Google said the sky was going to fall down and the they simply couldn't pay for news
Making sure that the big players negotiate in good faith with local media producers has worked (and will be assess continually when new players come into the market)
These massive sites are making bank from advertisements, advertisements which are only profitable because of engagement (in part generated from sharing local media content), it's about time they paid up
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Great that Linux is getting more representation overall though. Wonder how anti-cheat implementations work nowadays, I remember them not being supported on Linux before, so games didn't run.
A perfectly fair and balanced opinion. It's ultimately up to the admins since they've effective got to clean the mess if it happens, but gauging community sentiment would always be nice
This i feel is the best take for most instance owners. Wait, watch and react. Good to keep federation going until you actually observe them participating in bad faith
They said the same crap when it came to Australia requiring very similar legislation. Eventually they came to an agreement and moved on. That's what'll happen here
I think at least on kbin that the sorting / surfacing algorithm could could use some improvements. I'm pretty keen on seeing dozens of comments on articles and surfacing good content would help that (though both search and sorting are notoriously difficult, it'll take time before things are refined)
I've found it's worked really well. One annoying part is if you use Google search, the top 4/5 results which usually are ads (but eventually redirect to the correct page you want) become inaccessible, as Adguard interrupts it
I'm still not sold on the displays. Every time I've seen one the promise has always been "the screen is better", but when eventually I get hands on with them all I see is a massive crease in the middle and I can't unsee it
All of the porn on pornhub now is from verified sources since they forced mindgeek to purge all of their unverified content (to keep them as payment processors)
Nothing wrong with taking money from porn now that they strong armed pornhub into doing what it wanted
Love to see it. Really keen to see the type of new handhelds we're going to get in the future and how that'll impact market share
