Besides what everyone said… you are the boss. You control what can and can’t be done.

Eg. Lemmy.ml decided that users can’t create communities anymore on that instance. Easily solvable but a limitation to that instance.

If you own the instance, you decide what can be done and what not.

I have been with this idea for a very long time. But over time all the platforms got more and more greedy and I had the feeling that my privacy got more and more invaded.

Since that time, I have an Adblock and use DDG.

Sorry content creators.

More interested in the other 3 days challenge 😂💩

Is there a discount if I buy 3 seats? I got a couple of people that need to check the inside of a volcano.

Belgium: yes! We drink tap water. Straight from the tap. Hardness varies from city to city. At my home I have a filter to make the water softer. That helps the taste but also keeps all faucets etc running.

That would solve a large part. If it would function as an actual alt, you could also “federate” the communities all the alts are following. That would make it so much easier if an instance would stop. One could just start using an alt as a main.

I had no idea it even had a name. I’m learning a lot these days! Thnx!

Does this work? I don’t think that is possible. Also, the community making is not that big of a deal (see my post), it is more of a general idea that I have…

Agreed. But is it something we should be thinking about, or is the general feeling: “infamousbelgian, you are so badly overthinking right now…”

Agreed. However, the nice thing about the fediverse is that it is not “ruled” by someone with a lot of power. I don’t know, I’m just putting it out here…

The canonical makes sense for the search engine (eg Google). I would put the canonical on the source instance.

Leaves open the question what would happen if the source would disappear…

Even as a Belgian: yes.

I think if canonicals are applied correctly, it should not be an issue?

I’m on Safari Mac. If that helps anyone…

I’m getting a lot of syntax errors at the bottom of the page since well… recently.

SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token ‘<’

Well… Apparently (I did some reading), the topic was about Google Workspace for Education. A solution only used by schools.

Nobody is currently “caring” about the normal Google Workspace. So yes and no.

You and I are not. But if a certain giant site that is currently making not the… euh… best decisions goes in to action with a large legal team…

Again, Facebook does not rely on their TOS. They rely on the fact that they obey to the Privacy Shield (see https://www.facebook.com/about/privacyshield). Lemmy instances do not, by default, obey to GDPR and or Privacy Shield.

Even more: (info from https://www.facebook.com/business/gdpr):

Transfers
As is the case today, any transfers of personal data outside of the EEA (European Economic Area) must meet certain legal requirements. Facebook Inc. is certified under the Privacy Shield framework. Under this framework, we receive and process personal data from our advertisers in the EU. We do this in connection with certain products, including data file Custom Audiences, attribution checkup and certain offline conversion lift studies.

(if the Privacy Shield is sufficient or not is a whole other discussion and not for this topic).

You are missing the point. A TOS can’t fix it. If it can, they would have done so. And for GDPR, there is no difference between schools and genpop. A citizen is a citizen…
