Mixed feelings on this. Cool tool, great idea. On the other hand, it’s also an effective tracker. Not privacy friendly.

Highly depends on the quality of the sidewalk. While I love the aesthetic of my neighborhood much of the sidewalk is barely maintained brick and cobbles. Wheelchairs are safer in the road in many areas.

Lemmy isn’t just “one thing”. Every instance has its own rules and standards. Lemmy itself has zero policy with regards to free speech, for or against. Nor does the Fediverse as a whole.

You can start your own Lemmy instance and have all the free speech you want.

As has been pointed out previously, this isn’t about censorship. It’s about low quality posting. Even if the information is completely valid your post to Reddit violated the sub rules and your low effort conspiracy postings on Lemmy serve no value.

Are we really doing this, yet again?

Beauty of FOSS is anybody can just remove it.

Funny thing being that the only reason SONY is in gaming was to screw Nintendo. They had a hardware partnership that fell apart because SONY was putting the thumbscrews to Nintendo over revenue sharing. Nintendo said, you’re not the only one who can provide what we need, and dumped them. PlayStation was the direct result.

Not knocking Rots, as a breed. Beautiful animals with a lot of love to give.

As a pitbull owner, I may take my chances trying to subdue an aggressive PB. An agressive Rot, I’m climbing trees.

You’re missing the forest through the trees if your take is that anyone is directly comparing the severity of these two issues. The point is that any instance owner that doesn’t have the proper framework in place to mount a legal argument or defense is in a highly vulnerable position regardless of the content.

Being in the right doesn’t matter if you can’t afford the price tag associated with proving it. Just responding to a subpoena or a lawsuit has a non-zero cost associated with it.

BC titles remain available through the current store.

By design, yes, but there’s a number of things that can go wrong that can cause the remote instances to not receive (or comply with) the instruction to do so.

It’s actually a “mirror” moreso than a cache. There’s a complete, distinct, URL for each piece of mirrored content, that points a specific server and is indexable by search engines independent of the original. Instances ARE hosting the data directly.

Not sure which part of that law you’re going with but I appreciate the arrogance of quoting US law as a silver bullet on a global platform in a thread started on a server in Germany.

Those parentheses are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Let’s take the inflammatory subject solely to make a point.

If someone posted CP to !disney_pictures@lemmy.xyz, that content is then immediately copied to every instance that has at least one subscriber to !disney_pictures@lemmy.xyz. It now appears on NEW of the community and the front page of every single one of those instances. It’s not a link to the content, it’s the actual content, hosted on every single once of those instances.

You not convinced there’s the potential for liability for every single one of those instances and their admins?

This is an inaccurate statement. Looking just at US law (there’s plenty of others), CDN’s that reside or operate within the US are required to comply with DMCA takedowns and any other legal requests made of them. Failure to do so jeopardizes their protection under Section 230 of the DCMA. They 100% can be held civilly and criminally liable for what’s in their cache. The US provides a pass, by law, as long as they maintain due diligence.

That’s actually very similar to what this story about Reddit was all about. The film studios were trying to build a case to have RCN stripped of their S230 protections.

That’s one thing that is constantly overlooked, Reddit IS and will remain “better” in this regard because they have commercial backing and revenue to hire lawyers and put up legal fights. “Film studios lose bid to unmask Reddit users who wrote comments on piracy” isn’t going to happen in the Fediverse because most instances don’t have the resources to start the fight, nevermind win it.

Problem is, it IS hosted here. That’s the nature of the Fediverse. It doesn’t just create links to other instances, it creates distinct copies of content on each instance. I am neither viewing this post on lemmy.world nor responding to it via lemmy.world. I am interacting with a distinct copy hosted on a completely unaffiliated instance, in a completely different country.

Your analogy to Google is flawed. Google links to content on other sites. Lemmy sites host distinct copies of content on each instance. While the communities aren’t @lemmy.world communities the content is 100% hosted on Lemmy.world by nature of federation.

All this post. Hosted on three completely different instances, with different admins. “It’s not actually my community” doesn’t work in the Fediverse.
