Well, all what they did and do focuses on showing some formal growth and potential for the IPO. I could imagine they can say that they will also support activepub if experts will decide that this helps with the IPO

Agree - properly delete user content in a social system is not that easy as one can think. The good thing is, Lemmy is not the first social platform which must do this.

Thanks. I fully understand that instance admins are responsible to their instance only. And single post/comment removing logic also makes sense. But the idea that removing account keeps all content untouched sounds rather questionable from a regular-user centric point of view which GDPR follows. I mean this logic would allow goigle/Facebook/Twitter etc to keep basically everything since this is mostly things you created + metadata.

I will try to find out if/what Lemmy documentation says about this.

Can you provide a source for this statement? According to legal clarification I checked, the rule to permanently delete user data applicable to small businesses as well.

In this case, Lemmy contradicts GDPR, and instance admins have legal responsibility.

Yes. I think a tutorial should be simple and follow steps a new user should do this sequence touching more details later. Starting with why this could be interesting and what this brings.

I also find generic thesis that instance dies not matter rather misleading. At least for Lemmy.

Are you sure? I mean, the only mod acccount is deleted. account whic created some posts and comments there is deleted. And everything will stay as is?

An interesting digest, thanks for sharing!

you should not try to login to vlemmy directly, you can access and subscribe to communities hosted there from your instance like open cheeseburger.social/c/<community>@vlemmy.com (or whatever domain it has)

I have account on feddit.de, this community for me is: https://feddit.de/c/fediverse@lemmy.world

The admins were probably paid off

“Threads” got millions sing-ins in few hours after the launch, you a bit overestimate value of lemmy.world user base for meta.

But, yes, if you do not agree with lemmy.world - you can select another instance of setup you own.

as far as I understood the admins decided to wait and see what’s going on before making a decision. they do not federate, they do not de-federate upfront.

I do not know, but this guide is not friendly for new wide audience. BTW, the next step there is setting up stream settings. But I still have no idea why I should create an account, what I can do with it and how to start - i.e. how to find whom to follow (twitter addresses this issue pretty effective).

Started reading it. Reached “The first thing to do after signing up is to get verified.”. This steps described that I need to paste special html code on my website.

A regular person will stop here and go to twitter.

I’d assume communities about Australian rugby (or what’s it called) would also be there.

Or may be they should be in a “sport instance”, so people who are not interested in sport can block whole sport instance? This makes a lot of sense for people who are not interested in given topic (for example sport, politics, cats, anime) - whatever geography or language is.

I see what where you can from, but I do not think that instance blocking and a strong geographical separation is a good solution. This, btw, will also enforce “US by default” pattern even stronger.

There is no rule that everything about Germany is hosted on feddit.de and everything what is hosted on feddit.de is about Germany. I have a english language GalaxyWatch community located on feddit.de.

TBH, I do not know what is the best way to handle these. As far as I understand, the idea of fediverse is that instance as such must not be important. And there are many instances which have no “self-vision” or it is based on other logic than geography.

social platform are boring and dying without users you can communicate with.

for 5 users, a fediverse is a huge overdesign.

Ok, there is at least 1 female here - not Bad at all!

Btw, I spent surprisingly small amount of time to set up Lemmy for me. But, I’m mostly, a demographic described in the post. Except Linux, stopped using it few years ago.

I beat genders are not represented equally either 🙂

If you only scroll-read here - then, yes, it is easy

I lost you. algorithmic “feed” is created by Threads for Threads users. As long as you personally do not subscribe to Threads “communitues” (or whatever it will be) you do not see there. Without Threads you can find an unpleasant context in Lemmy as well, if you search for it just or browse “all”. If you want instance admin decide for your what you allowed to see and protect you from everything what they thing is not nice - there are few.
