  • Most of it is contained to specific forums, there’s just more than one across a few instances, RedditMigration on Kbin is another.

    The more time I spend here the more I’m realising blocking communities/magazines is as much a key to a good experience as subscribing to them, of not more.

    It’ll all die down anyway, to a degree there’s just a lot of people here who just arrived from reddit. I’d avoid blocking the word itself as the wave will pass plus it’s being used as a comparison in meta threads about features and UI and you might find you want to see those conversations.



  • I assume they moved there after the first model t rolled off the production line. Over 80% of the world don’t have a car, there is significant overlap with rural people in that.

    As I have already said, improve infrastructure, improve public transport, get off your lazy arse and walk more then 5 seconds from your front door.

    You don’t say you’re American but it’s so obvious you are, being incapable of functioning without a car isn’t normal it’s kind of pathetic



  • No country in the EU is a totalitarian dictatorship either we’ve worked out busses and footpaths, it’s not hard, your cities and counties still have planning offices, public servants decide these things. It makes little difference to the cost or scope of projects to design things so people can use them.

    I think you’re grossly underestimating how expensive dragging your heels on climate is going to be for everyone. Changing infrastructure now is cheap in comparison. Your economy is going to be fucked by climate change regardless of what china does, there is no prisoners dilemma.









  • It not being visible is a relatively recent online phenomenon that I think has lead to some negative feedback loops on social media.

    I treat upvotes and downvotes like I used to treat thumbs up, or thanks, or kudos or whatever on much older platforms; a way to say “I agree” or “I disagree” without adding a crap comment that doesn’t add to discussion.

    If you’re using it as a way to vote on what other people get to see that’s a reddit thing and this ain’t reddit.





  • The GDPR itself doesn’t use the term organisation, it refers to data controllers and data processors.

    A “data controller” refers to a person, company, or other body which decides the purposes and methods of processing personal data.

    A “data processor” refers to a person, company, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of a data controller.

    As someone from within the EU working in data the fediverse is absolutely not a long way off having to consider this, GDPR impacts even the smallest businesses or voluntary groups - it’s just how we handle data.

    To make it easier to grasp GDPR is about your rights over your data, those don’t change depending on who is processing it, nor does the processors obligation, however what would be considered appropriate safeguards would scale with the size and intent of your organisation - it would be silly for my local shop to have a data protection officer.

    I suppose the question would become who is the controller, is it the person who provides the software or the person who provides the servers? Typically it’s the servers.
