Having Fedi folks agreeing with 4chan is not on my bingo card this year, or ever.
Deferent but similar
Well the internet is written mostly by bots. Everything needs Id and spying. We may end up building a new internet so fuck the old internet
We’ll build a new internet with blackjack and hookers.
Just like it used to be.
Meshtastic-Net
Oh meshtastic is really cool but even without GPS broadcasting, it is FAR from private. There are some serious flaws with its encryption apparently that the devs don’t want to address, and im like 99% sure you can just be triangulated anyway.
That being said, meshtastic is awesome and everyone should try it. Its a lot of fun and you can “meet” cool people in your community who are kind of makerspace-adjacent and usually kind in general.
Also don’t listen to the meshcore grifters, meshcore is proprietary and requires you to pay for licenses to use its full feature set. They’re like reverse Linux users who just show up whenever meshtastic is mentioned to try to convince you to give your freedoms away.
Like a LAN party just a lil bigger.
I might not like what you have to say, but I’ll defend to death, your right to say it kinda shit
Within reason. Libel, incitement to violence, hate speech, etc, should be illegal for obvious reasons
There is an obvious reason why countries like Germany make a strong stance against any “trolling” nazi joke/imagery/salute.
But America’s First Amendment seems to not understand that reason (or only understand when it is weaponized against communism, black people, trans rights and all the “woke culture” stuff)
America’s first amendment doesn’t grant a total right to free speech. Conspiracy to commit murder is just speech, but is very much illegal, and so is copyright infringement.
Inb4 major Lemmy instances get banned
I would normally be sympathetic to their stand except earlier this year when this first started, they called on Trump to use all available political leverages to prevent this and protect free speech. Calling on Trump to protect free speech is just absolutely ridiculous.
4chan is an extreme example of an unmoderated site - indeed it’s what the OSA was designed to combat. If this legislative test fails, it would undermine the acts legitimacy, and provoke questions as to it’s existence.
It’s a shit law - it’s not fit for purpose. Its sole reason for existence is to controle public speech, not protect the children.
hands on hips “That’ll stop them.” /s
UK is ultra lame for this.
