Yeah but only in France can they get called out on TV and it’s the person calling them out that gets shunned!
Shootout to Denise Bombardier trying to get people to realise that Gabriel Matzneff is a pedo in 1990 only for Justice to wait another 30 years before launching an investigation even if he was directly referencing having sex with underage girls in his books.
I moved from Lemmy.ml because I liked the name of Lemmy.world and it ran a newer Lemmy version which meant I could make communities. I moved from Lemmy.world because they defederated from piracy communities they didn’t even host (but for some reason still kept the small piracy community they DID host) From thelemmy.club...
You’re still dependent on a single point of failure, what I’m talking about is doing like any other website but instead of using a provider like AWS, you’ve got a bunch of people all over the world providing storage space and bandwidth and all data is stored on three servers in different locations at all times so there’s basically no reason for the website to ever crash.
If you were to access Lemmy from a web browser you would need to remember what server you’re signed up to because that’s the website you would need to go to, you wouldn’t be going to “Lemmy.com” or whatever.
There are no instances anymore with this system, it’s the data hosting that’s decentralized, the front-end looks like a centralized website so you would go to Lemmy.com instead of whatever instance you signed up on.
Imagine Reddit but there’s no central authority and instead of using a service like AWS it’s just people providing storage space and bandwidth and they can decide not to host content from certain communities on their server, but from the user’s point of view they wouldn’t know where they’re pulling the data from.
So no, you couldn’t have two users with the same username. The user database could easily be shared by all storage providers or the database could be randomly split and you would have to mention what part of the database your info is stored on when logging in. When creating your account (where it checks for doubles on the whole username list hosted on all servers) you’re given a random third credential that you need to mention when logging in so the service knows which servers host that part of the user database (all info including the database would have triple redundancy).
Right now a website’s data might not be stored on a single server so that’s already how things work, the difference is that all the different servers are owned by the same company (like Amazon or Google). In the backend the servers communicate together to provide the data to the users so it feels like everything is hosted in the same place.
TL;DR: The best way to fix things is to make it work like it does for any other websites but to only decentralize the hosting instead of also decentralizing the communities.
I know it’s not how Lemmy works, what I’m saying is “There’s a big issue with how Lemmy works, here’s how I think decentralization should be approached instead.” Having terabytes of information possibly disappearing because one person gets in a car accident on their way to work isn’t an improvement vs a centralized system hosted on AWS.
Communities would be moderated by their creator, server admins could decide not to host content from any communities they don’t want to host, if no server admin wants to host your community then you’re free to host it on your own server or to fix the problems with it.
There’s illegal content on Lemmy right now, even instances that don’t want to host it need to clean up their images folder because of it, so it’s not as if the way it works right now is any better for that and it’s not as if there’s no instance admin ready to host that content.
User credentials can be stored securely. Do you think your instance admin has a text file with your password written in plain characters?
The third credential I was suggesting is just one solution so not all servers have to have a “master database” with all user info stored, split the database and let the users know they need to remember they confirm their login through database X or Y. I’m sure much more intelligent people could come up with another solution.
If you disagree with the admin’s choices when it comes to defederating other instances, that’s the main reason why you would switch to another instance…
Ok, so your argument is basically “Look at this unrelated service, that’s how it works too, so nothing wrong with the current service except that I had to do the thing that proves that what you’re talking about would be better.”
Eliminate the central authorities altogether, let people curate their feed so they don’t have to worry about someone else making choices about their experience.
Someone could join Lemmy today and have no idea they’re missing out on a big part of the available content because they joined the wrong instance, they would then turn around and just go back to Reddit where they know everything is available and they’re in control of what they’re subscribed to and what users they want to block.
How does what I’m talking about prevents federation? Lemmy is federated with kbin and mastodon even though they don’t work the same way…
I never said I see no value in what Lemmy created, I’m saying that the way they went about it might not have been the right one because now that there’s a lot of users and many instances were created, we can see that one major flaw in the system is that the instance’s admin can just decide they’re done with Lemmy and all content hosted on their instance just vanishes.
If your instance crashed I wouldn’t be able to see your messages until your instance was back online, that’s why when you copy a permalink to a comment it’s the address of their instance that you see, instances host the content posted by their own user no matter where it’s posted, instances communicate between themselves to share that info so their users see what other instances users post, that’s also why you might still see posts on communities of instances you’re defederated from, they’re posts by people from your own instance.
On the password thing, it’s no worse than what’s going with the current system, you’re trusting the instance admins not to leak anything… Heck, splitting up the lists could be even more secure since it could be equally divided between hosts instead of having a couple of instances hosting what amounts to over 50% of all credentials… What happens if lemmy.world’s admin leaks everything?
And I’m suggesting solutions, I don’t have the expertise to implement them. Do you believe that all tech is developed by the person who came up with an idea? Because I sure would love to meet the person that developed my cars seats, computer, engine and suspension, that single person must be one hell of a genius!
Home Alone 4 is the first one not to see a theater release, so yes it was in fact made for TV.
As for my answer: It feels like everyone needs vacations after the holidays because of the stress of having to see everyone and of traveling all over to do so… I wish we lived closer so it would be less trouble but if we did it would become an excuse to join those who go see the extended family that lives hours away…
At least it’s not like when I was a kid and one side of the family would have five separate parties where all the same people would be there just in a different house each time…
There’s a pretty fucking big difference between saying “I hope they got a Toyota because it’s the most reliable.” and “I hope they got a Toyota because otherwise they threw their money away.”
Your can get a Honda or Mazda and it will be just behind Toyota in reliability or it will be even more reliable than the equivalent Toyota depending on what kind of vehicle you want (Toyota has had some failures too in case you only look at what consumer report says but actually don’t know anything about cars) or you could get a Maserati and it will spend its time at the dealership.
Also, guess you should have kept your money instead of throwing it away?
It’s funny because if you had bought a V6 Toyota truck from the same year you would have been in for one hell of a ride! Engine top end and frame that needs to get replaced, talk about top notch reliability 😘👌
I know it’s hard to admit we might be wrong, but reliability varies by model and a Civic will be just as reliable as a Corolla and it’s been the case for decades now.
I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.
The English part of Canada loves to act like it’s culturally distinct but what they watch, listen to and read is mostly American, to the point where Anglo Canadian production is so unpopular that the Canadian state media (TV, radio, online written content) might as well be two separate entities when you compare the quantity of original content in English vs French. French Canadians punch way above their weight in the amount of cultural content they produce basically just for themselves…
Politically it’s often said that Canada is the USA with a ~5 years delay…
