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?

I feel like this is going to become a problem with federation in the future. A Mastodon instance is hosting content outside of its control that may or may not comply with its internal policies or local law. Is that instance protected legally? Likely not.

It would likely be treated the same way as auto forwarding an email would be treated.

Got to do something once Americans got back to cotton farming.

Yeah. I’m sure Palestinians would prefer military aid to go to Ukraine instead of Israel.

A lot of timber piles would be driven into the river bed by pulling up and letting go of a giant boulder onto the top of the pile. Once the timber piles were set, they could then build a wooden bridge deck on top.

It wasn’t a permanent bridge and the Romans would usually destroy their bridge after they no longer needed it.

Yeah. People like to complain about American warmongering, but the period between World Wars I and II was orders of magnitude more deadly.

Not really. All American States have the same level of inherent sovereignty. There are also a lot of federal programs that rely the individual states performing the work. States also maintain their own militaries under partial or complete state control.

In contrast, UK country sovereignty is a mixed bag, with the largest country in the UK without any devolved powers.

The US generally views American state sovereignty more in line with EU country sovereignty.

I would put it more that there should have been an agreement on what Brexit would be pursued. The pro-Brexit camp promoted all forms of Brexit while there wasn’t a good idea on how Brexit would be implemented.

The UK still hasn’t solved the trilemma.

Is that why the USA attacked first?

Bluesky is new Twitter today.

There is nothing in its design to prevent it from becoming the X of tomorrow.

What’s my age, again?

I’m not 23. Nobody likes you when you’re 23.

Yeah. It is interesting that Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Miami aren’t on here while Salt Lake City, Denver, and Atlanta are very visible.

It filters out college towns with large masters and doctorate programs.
