OK setting aside the Q thing, am I the only one who had a weird number of those growing up?

And Racoon

? Was there supposed to be a picture?

(Its been a thing since the 40s)

That sounds like it punishes small instances... a lot. What would starting an instance look like? Do you start with a huge list of servers to inspect and approve?

Tbh I'm struggling to imagine what this would look like in something like Lemmy. It seems to be describing an extreme form of setting your account to private, but this only really makes sense in a situation where you have followers who are friends and family. How would I decide who to "approve"?

But people who don't return carts are just as bad as landlords???

Oh you're right, I read that as 490,000, sorry. Thanks

OK, but what arithmetic?

Where did those numbers come from? MAU/users ismore like 25%?

That's the part that gets me. If it were just not removing content, well, I'd probably still complain but they'd have a coherent freedom of speech argument. But... they have to pay Nazis to make Nazi content and take a cut, otherwise it's censorship and that somehow helps the Nazis?

I had a dm who would tell us to roll. And then say "you fail" before hearing the number

Well, you're commenting on a Mastodon post...

I think these are great rules, so long as they never have any teeth.

That's really the entire article. "Yeah, for now its run by hippies who care about privacy and run servers out of a sense of civic duty, but we can fix that"

I mean, they're doable, but they're cultural goals, not technical ones.

I'd argue that really all of these are on a spectrum between the two though.

Good, that's what women want too

I think the main complaint isn't a quality question, it's that most people here don't trust Meta to act in good faith. There's a sense that they'll come in, make the fedivirse as dependent as possible, then pull out. Defederating on principle is more of an independence thing.

I agree with you for the quality thing, I rarely see mastodon here, there's no reason to think we'll be flooded with threads.

I love how most of the replies are from people not on this server. I mean, I agree, we should defederate, but still.
