Yes, that is my understanding of project 2025.

Probably tariffs on the entire EU. I don’t think tariffs on Denmark would work, as it’s trivial to route Danish exports to the US through another EU country.

Does it also trap search engine crawlers? That would be a problem

That is probably true for all instances

Would be interested in what? Some may be interested in a Pixelfed app, others may be interested in a mastodon app. Those groups don’t necessarily overlap much, and while some may be interested in the fediverse or activity pub, most people just want to know what it can do for them.

Honest question: what is the goal here? As a user, I don’t care much about the fediverse as a concept. As a Reddit refugee, I love Lemmy and that is worth promoting as far as I am concerned. I was never into twitter, and mastodon doesn’t appeal to me. But if people want to promote it, go for it. As a techie, the fediverse is an interesting concept, but not one you’re going to get the general public interested in.

It does with ‘show community at top’ turned on. But that makes it harder to click on the title to see the post. With that option turned off, it show the community at the bottom but without instance info

Could you give me a hint? Gone through the settings but can’t see it. Community icon is an option, but those are too small to be useful (for me anyway)

Wait what! Adobe killed photo files??

Apart from the known iOS issue requiring the occasional app restart, no bugs and loving the app. Only feature i’d like to see is a display of the instance in the post list. So not just ‘news’, but ‘news@lemmy.world’. Some community names exist on different instances (which I think is not helping new users, but it’s a lemmy problem, not a voyager one)

So you didn’t make your point very well then.

The only thing that can make Trump look good is his obituary

It would be great to have a news community where ft.com links were banned.

Mine (not a mod) is mod action on a comment and a list of dubvee.org communities I’m banned from by admin. Not sure what that is about, never been on that instance or any of its communities.

Edit: just checked, it seems I am banned from that entire instance. Reason:

Whines "paYWallEd" and makes their fucking laziness OP's problem. Fuck off you lazy, entitled shit.

For me, it’s neither strength nor weakness. I’m a boring old fart, I’m not here for politics.

I’m not a moderator. If I was, I would delete any posts with hate speech or inciting violence if they are against the law in the jurisdiction of this instance. Doesn’t matter what US law allows people to say. Doesn’t matter what I personally think of this specific case (US healthcare is a disgrace to put it mildly, I’m disappointed the guy got caught, and a few other thoughts that you may agree with, but could get me a criminal conviction if I post them, and could get the site owners in trouble for allowing the post - and some posters here don’t seem to get that) I’m done with this post now.

You make some valid points. My take is that it is up to the users to comply with their local laws (EU citizens have been convicted in court for social media posts that broke local laws but not necessarily the site rules), and the TOS are not there to address that. It’s up to the instance owners to comply with the laws applicable to them, and for that they need to guide and educate the moderators, not the users (some of whom are going to ignore the rules anyway). So perhaps mods need detailed rules on what is and is not allowed on the site, but sharing that level of detail with the users is just sparking pointless discussions.

The assumption most people make is that they and their actions are covered under the laws of their locality.

Yes, which means that the site owners have to deal with the laws of their locality, and may be held accountable under their laws for allowing the content on their instance.

Maybe unlikely to happen, but given the potential consequences, I can’t blame a small group of volunteers not wanting to take the risk.

More importantly: nobody has a right to assume LW is a democracy. Their instance, their rules.

You are not going to get a sound legal advice on jury nullification in a jurisdiction that does not recognise the concept of a jury. Calling that murky is missing the point. We do have rules on hate speech, incitement to violence etc. so freedom of speech is not an absolute right
