As the platform is used for residents and citizens to auth to government services, the entire thing should be government owned.

From memory they did ask Microshit to fix it but after 8 years of complaining about it and Microshit doing nothing they changed the names.

Couple hundred users and it’s running on 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160GB NVME storage. Which according to OVH Sydney is about AU$10/m
But that doesn’t include the the Pict-rs media store so keep that in mind for your storage numbers.


Here’s hoping the next oligarch puppet the America elect doesn’t try to smooth ruffled feathers with hollow promises and no actual actions or revoking the cloud act.


Hey, it takes time for governments to change.
My wife still uses Lotus Notes for her government job.


Na, that would be udderly ridiculous.


No, cow shit.


People that run their own single person instances.


Na, having votes in the public means you can spot bad actors over different communities.
Remember when Reddit removed the individual post counts and only gave the % to make manipulation easier, or YouTube removing the thumbs down count so you don’t know if a video is good or bad anymore?
Hiding information makes making an informed decision harder.


I guess you don’t filter out things like dubvee or DB0 who when you get banned on an instance level you will also be banned on a tonne of communities or if you downvote one post in a community run by draconic neo they will ban you from half a dozen communities inflating their numbers.


Na, there is one dude who runs a bunch of AI comms and if you ever downvote a post they will ban you from 5 or 6 communities you have never interacted with.
They did a post a whole ago bragging about how to make a successful AI community he bans everyone who downvotes them, and even went and banned people from their communities who downvotes that post in an entirely unrelated community.


You are there because when you ban someone on an instance level, you also ban them on a community level, which inflates your numbers.
DB0 does the same thing.


What problem would be solved by doing that?


If we live and host services outside the US do we need to follow their law?


Governments have pretty hard requirements which big tech have likely help form to lock themselves in so it will be rather hard, but I am glad they are doing it.


Not likely, from the article
If accepted onto the platform, Dutch sellers must provide customer service in German.


How about you support your instance by donating to it?


I feel there needs to be disclaimer on Lemmy servers/introduction page to warn people about negativity on the platform, but I don’t think it will ever happen.
or you know, follow the damn community rules so your posts don’t get deleted.


Not just supporting. Remember all those terrible things we did to Aborigines.
Oh hey it’s another person with a young account of 9 days who gets banned from a community and tells the mods to kill themselves then complains about the internet being the internet.
