Twitter now blocking all DMs from non-Twitter Blue subscribers by default

  • They also deleted all chat history from prior to this year.

  • Even with IP, there is very little stopping the big actors from developing something similar but debatable distinct, at a larger scale. By the time the lawsuit clears, they've wrecked your profitablity.

    In fact, more often you see big companies act as patent trolls, using IP as a bludgeon to threaten smaller players who don't have an army of lawyers. See, DMCA takedowns to suppress speech, patent trolls, and esp trademark nonsense.

    Trade secrets fit your example best, but more often than not that's something that relies on worker restrictions rather than traditional "IP"

  • Intellectual property is cultural theft.

    • Would there be any benifit to host another instance?

  • I predict spam bots. It's always spam bots.

    • (Linux users !) What was the first Linux distro that you used ?

  • Same! 8.04 was a great introduction. Though I learned about wifi drivers the hard way back then...

    • A Call to Action: Universities of the World, Join the Fediverse!

    Jump

  • I'm split on this, on the one hand I think universities should set up instances for official channels of communication. It's ridiculous to rely on some 3rd party service and it's algorithm to, say, tell everyone for is cancelled due to weather. It has done costs but makes these communication lines much more resilient.

    Yet, extending this instance to staff, let alone students, is a huge can of worms. Bring in charge of moderation and web hosting opens the school up to so so much litigation. They'll frankly never do that.

    • Reddit demands moderators remove NSFW labels, or else

    Jump

  • It's really impressive how Lemmy/kbin have totally replaced reddit for me pretty painlessly. Any time Ive checked reddit out of FOMO, the content is far worse, and the comments are horrid.

    • To the admins- will lemmy.world block Facebook's Threads or are you open to federating with them in the future?

    Jump

  • Threads has 60 million users in 1 day, the fediverse has 12 million over years of growth.

    We'd be keeping ourselves out of Threads, not the other way around.

    • Happy Freedom Day...I guess.

  • Pointing out flaws in the country shouldn't be seen as a personal attack or critique. Many of the victims of America are it's citizens (e.g., the incarcerated).

    Nationalism just twists the government into our personal identity to manipulate us. Making fun of the government/system is healthy.

    This isn't "Americans dumb" content, which attacks the actual citizens and understandably may weigh on someone.
