i disagree that tor or tor-level anonymity is some magical requirement to defeat corporations.

you speak as if lemmy isnt a bunch of independent instances. maybe step outside the lemmy tree and take a look at the ap forest

o0o0 did you know the disgust on their faces isnt from being painted randomly by a guy in a restaurant‽

quick, put a napkin on your head so his painting looks stupid

the fediverse is incredibly public.

its like having your own little radio station broadcasting into the void. once those waves hit the air you cant take it back.

deletes/edits are niceties… but the fact is you put it on the fediverse and everyone else gets to decide what to do with it.

yes my world will burn when they crack into my jellyfin instance and magically break out of its docker container and then what? goo nowhere on its vlan?

literally thousands of self-hosted jellyfin/emby instances and the support forums are just chocked full of people getting hacked via it! so many!

oh wait, no there arent

oh noes! im so ddead!

eh, maybe. for me it was opening a port and adding a dns record. took me all of 4 minutes

im kinda lucky in that my isp uses ‘sticky’ ips so while its not static, ive had the same ip for 5 years

friends don’t let friends use plex.

its paywalling yourself

i feel this… i donate time to senior citizens, and its mostly mint upgrades from windows as they do not want to have to update their windows machines.

its very easy. they know many of their users are not experts.

ive been through many of these upgrades and have a dozen or so machines runnin mint… upgrading has never gone sideways on me. its one of the benefits of mint. their upgrade processes are very well tested.

imagine your mom using an llm to write an app…

young katie, with hair dark and sleek, met trudeau, whose waves made you wet with a political charm, and a pop-stars alarm, they both showed their style, no regret

the coward in chief strikes again.

i think we need to focus on ‘re-homing’ subreddits across the verse, but its incredibly group-specific. its difficult to communicate to reddit subs and convince users to move largely because of the banhammer reddit has brought down.

youre absolutely right in that there needs to be pressure for a community to exist successfully. users would want to separate the signal of a specific topic from more general forums.

• Adding servers is not going to help the signup issue, it will just make it worse.
• what marketing?? there is none for the fediverse.
• i know its tech heavy, but so was reddit at instantiation. There are several servers slowly attracting non technical peeps
• centralization is a problem, and I love the idea of spreading the content out, but shits expensive. funding is an ongoing issue across the fediverse.
• most of the modding (curation) failures ive seen come from the creation of a community without the requisite pressure. there just arent enough humans wanting that content or for it to be curated. someone jumped the gun on community creation.

do you really need whole server for specific communities?

ha, right! one employee says one thing and thats the end for the entire company??

stupid. and the idea that the whole conversation is tainted because ‘conceit’ is also kinda hilarious

they wont consider anything you say thats ‘pro’ ai. they wont think.

he wont. they never do… ive tried.
