Yeah, but those tools should be built into Lemmy and they aren’t. Even something as basic as mod seniority based on something other than how long someone has been a mod should have been corrected.

Good mods and admins are able to do good work despite the tools provided, not with the tools provided.

I’m not surprised. Lemmy has been sold as a Reddit where people can be in more control than they could be on Reddit. It turns out you only get that control if you’re an admin.

But the decision to defederate or allow a mod to use AI is at the admin level, not the user level.

The user threat to leave isn’t worth that much.

The use of AI for moderation isn’t the choice of users, but moderators and admins.

Welcome to international diplomacy…

The problem is that the map features a contested border.

It would be like Pakistan or India showing up wearing a map of their countries which show they annexed all of Jammu & Kashmir. It isn’t just an expression of national identity at that point.

Even as bad as Bush Jr was, the USA was still good enough to provide Europe a security guarantee and peace dividend.

From the little I read, Tchap only handles text messages while the article is about video conferencing.

You don’t use it, but you need to be able to use it for the threat to be credible.

Yes, France has it. The question is how it gets used to protect the rest of Europe.

Yeah, I agree.

One thing that would help is defining European defense policy. I feel like a lot of countries are spending money without a target for what they should be trying to build.

The big questions with France’s nuclear umbrella are whether France will provide a nuclear guarantee to the rest of Europe, who makes the decision to launch nukes, and who will pay for it.

France has the best military in the EU and would likely form the core of the EU’s defense strategy, but it shouldn’t hold key competencies in defense.

It is going to be kind of expensive for the EU to replace the non-expeditionary capabilities of the US military. There are also some parts, like a nuclear umbrella, which are going to need to be worked out.

It isn’t impossible, but it is going to be pretty expensive and a lot of it should be built at the supernational level, preferably the EU.

I wish Lincoln accepted that set to fight in the Civil War.

That was how the Internet worked back in the day. Site reliability for small sites was shit and going viral would routinely pull a smaller site down.

Maybe you should make some noise until an MP cleans up the issue.

So how does UK law handle federation?

IANAL, but most law that I’ve heard of regarding third party content requires the site hosting the content to conform to takedown notices issued. So, having a good DCMA system requires you to be able to take down content from instances that may not be bad, but governed differently.

As for the law “catching up with” federation sites, I don’t see that happening unless Mastodon and Lemmy start creating massive lobbying arms.

Yeah, if.

Has BlueSky implemented federation yet?
