@stopthatgirl7 mmm… what do you mean?
@OldFartPhil Anyway… maybe with “intellectual property” they mean another thing? I mean… if Meta is a Twitter clone, Twitter was a identi.ca clone too.
@bathrobe I don’t know about tiktok, but I think that it is the same data that Facebook collects. And the worst is what we have at the end, “Other Data”. That means, each moment Meta can decide to collect yet more things without to inform the user.
But it doesn’t work for every instance… don’t ask why.
The two instances of Mastodon in which I have my accounts are not reachable through this way
https://kbin.social/d/babka.social
https://kbin.social/d/hed.im
But people from those instances follow my kbin account (and opposite) … thus they are federated with kbin and the federation does work.
Other domains like facebook or twitter should not be accessible, but they are and the results are not really good…
@sik0fewl why not?
@clb92 that sounds like less privacy for citizens, and more easy ways to work for organized mafias.
@Ronno No really, if I understood well the proposal is not that every channel will have a backdoor. Probably that is a request only for citizens, and maybe most companies, but I don’t think that it will apply to banks, finance institutions or to the state.
Or maybe I misunderstood something… I’m not sure.
@luna I was wondering why the name is weird. Maybe because I am not an English native speaker, but I don’t find it not or less weird than lemmy or twitter…
@PabloDiscobar hi, just a problem of understanding. What do you mean with “american soft power leaking in every sub”?
@CorInABox
No perhaps. That was all the problem. It was a break of trust by the admins who attended this meeting, and then cannot do a lot to regain the trust since they cannot speak about the subject. Eben is unknown who attended meeting.
@LollerCorleone @kaladininskyrim
That would be ideal, it would be possible to consume meat keeping cruelty free standards. Hopefully it will happen soon.
@GordomeansPhat Difficult to say… hopefully it will be possible to trace the animal donors.
@Mr_Jabroni they can get data without a context, what is a big problem for the integration. For instance, to coreference accounts in different platforms, they cannot do it based on the name, but they can do it building a graph of interactions and learning from it… just as an example. Of course everyone can do the same, the problem is that Meta has not only the skills and resources, but that it is a substantial part of their business model.
I don’t claim that the Anti-Meta pact is a solution, I am far to know how is possible to go ahead with the situation. A first step is that the user should be allow to decide which instances cannot access her/his data, something that in Mastodon is already possible.
An additional problem is that after some representatives of big Mastodon servers took part in a meeting with Meta under NDA, I have a big problem of trust.
@LollerCorleone @Silejonu
@ofcourse there are instances which defederated an instance because they implented free-text search. There is not agreement on that.
Steps 1 and 2 are problematic, since the Fediverse is hetetogeneous and not every instance federates which every instance, and not all the content is shared between diffrerent software (i.e. only a part of the content in kbin can be accessed by madtodon).
Anyway the approach is sound, maybe not for the fediverse, but for groups of instances which agree on a shared search engine.
I’m not sure about the GPU requirements, but on CPU the updates could be very slow for the actual trafic.
@Mr_Jabroni
Considering the well-known privacy violations and surveillance practices of Meta/Facebook, it’s not hard to imagine that one of their future actions, possibly sooner rather than later, would involve cross-referencing accounts in the fediverse with their own platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, and others. In Mastodon, users have the option to block instances, ensuring that those instances cannot access their data. However, we don’t even have that level of protection here.
@LollerCorleone
@goji thanks a lot!!
About the bi-directionality I will ask in codeberg when it is operative agsin.
@admin thanks a lot !!
@tchambers We need something similar for kbin.
There are already a lot of instances, but allmost all users are concentrated in just two instances.
@ernest Great update! Thanks a lot and take care of your self!
@atlasraven31 Possibly drunk proud neo-nazi idiots.
