They are locations that you automatically block once you set up your Lemmy account. They are subs used to test that your Lemmy feed, and blocking mechanism, is working in your client.
Hm... If they're not being stored on the cloud, that means offline users would never receive messages, unless Signal is purely P2P. I haven't looked at the project, or the source, but I find it hard to believe -- you can't really do user lookups without some sort of middleware in the cloud.
But it's a website. It can be accessed by anyone with internet access. Just because my web service is public facing shouldn't mean that I have to comply with with laws from every country/planet my application is accessible from. That's just my ignorant thinking anyway.
If I'm obeying my local laws while operating my service, then some other country shouldn't be able to sue me in my own country. Unless there are local USA laws stating that I have to comply with laws from all of these countries that we have treaties with.
That's something I never really understood. Like, someone can get in trouble for violating the laws of a country they aren't even a resident in.
I get blocking them, or seizing local assets, but international lawsuits? How does that even work? How do other countries have legal authority or legal presence in other countries?
Is it through some diplomatic agreement/treaty between countries similar to how extradition works?
In an enterprise setting we'd definitely create a method in that object what would have that chain in it, and call that instead... It seems like it's used over, and over again.
Anyhow, we're sitting here trying to make sense of something that obviously some sort of joke haha.
