There’s another one used when the copyrighted one was still copyrighted.

“haa-py, happy, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you”

And that’s were moderation (the act of moderation) comes in as a first step rather than instant defederation.

I haven’t mentioned anything about Trans people at all ? There’s nothing to negotiate and I don’t disagree that trans people have a right to be treated with respect and have their rights respected.

There’s lots of reasons including psychology.

When you listen to Radio you generally don’t know what songs will be played unless the DJ teases what’s coming. When they tease it’s always something that the vast majority will like.

So with radio you have the anticipation factor which helps bridge the advert gap (if the station plays adverts in between tracks)

When you listen to radio you are often distracted or doing something else.

If you put in an album then you now exactly what order the tracks will be and unless you skip tracks will inevitably have some that are fillers. Also, you are more likely to concentrate on the music which involves more thinking. All of this leads to boredom or fatigue.

The bit that thinks is in my head feels to be at the front. But it knows that my heart is equally important. So I feel that I am my head and my body.

People who have lost a limb say they feel like they’ve lost a part of themselves not just physically but in their sense of wholeness.

From reading the articles it seems many children were collected but of course they also complained to the school board about the disruption.

I get what you’re saying. There’s a mindset in the fediverse that everyone on an instance is responsible for it. Even if the bad actors join later. The instance gets defederated but as a user it can be really hard to know if your instance is defederated.

It’s a deeply unpopular opinion and anyone who suggests that federation is simultaneously a huge advance and a big problem seems to get downvoted.

You’re right, ultimately instead of being exposed to a range of views some of which are challenging we’ll end up in little echo chambers.

We need more moderation and less defederation.

They weren’t stuck on buses they were waiting on buses to arrive. There were school staff with them.

Pay a consultancy $200,000 to design routes. How on earth did they not realise that would go wrong. And all because they would not pay enough to attract new drivers.

As far as I understand it, there is an API but as with all APIs you need a key/license/magic number to use it.

So far, Google has allowed access to Samsung, a carrier version and no one else.

An app can only do anything with the data you give it access to. It can’t collect new data while it’s closed.

If it’s running in the background it can collect data but only if you’ve given it permission. For example you might give an execrable app permission to record your heart rate, number of steps etc.

They can make accounts but Mastodon/Lemmy etc doesn’t offer complete migration yet. So they’ll be losing their posts (and some followers as that doesn’t work fully at the moment).

The flaw in that argument is that not everyone on the instance is a weed. Especially in the case where a new users join. So your not helping the good stuff grow. You are cutting it back along with the weeds.

Also, did you mean to write that you chose your instance because it’s a home for piracy and anarchism? If so, what you going to do when it gets defederated?

According to the OP the far right has just joined because the admin went MIA. There will have been regular users who joined before the far right took over.

What about the innocent users on the instance? I think there should be a more measured approach to defederation, looking at the bigger picture and what it actually achieves.

Defederating won’t stop them posting it just means you won’t see it. They’ll then be even more effective at spreading their message as they claim they are being silenced.

Many people are proposing a council that any instance would have to be a member of. If they break the rules (eg not moderating the instance) then the council has the power to migrate innocent users.
