I took the question to be “could you currently host fedi servers on the dark web, without any big changes to their code” but yeah I’m sure it’s possible to make it happen, if people wanted to put in the work.

Not feasible.

Just use an instance that is outside USA and not using a USA hosting company? Half the fediverse uses Hetzner, for example. OVH (French) is another popular provider.

Haha that’s bleak. And a great example how choices that may be optimal for an individual (“ahhh, time to retire somewhere warm”) can be pretty bad at a societal level.

Close. The retaliation was faked, tho.

Not really anything serious.

By poking around https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list I found two (and only two) with open sign ups that do not say “demo and testing instance”:

It’s kinda amazing to me how they convinced so many people to give them money when that is all they have. I guess people want to have hope.

The story was invented so people would subscribe to his substack, which exists to promote his company.

We’re being manipulated into sharing made-up rage-bait in order to put money in his pocket.

The answer to that is literally in the first sentence of the body of the article I linked to.

GPTZero is 99% accurate.

https://gptzero.me/ is free, give it a try. Generate some slop in ChatGPT and copy and paste it in.

I’ve tested lots and lots of different ones. GPTZero is really good.

If you read the article again, with a critical perspective, I think it will be obvious.

FYI this article is written with a LLM.

Don’t believe a story just because it confirms your view!

Yup and I noticed they’ve been saving their good jets for a rainy day too. Lost a few of the 1980s ones but none of the latest generation.

These two new features have complete API support so I’m hoping the client apps get on board with these quicker than they have been able to in the past.

So you’re saying Lemmy should show the country of accounts too?

Coding a carddav export / import would be easy. But realistically every platform will need to just use whatever format Mastodon uses.

And then there’s the question of what would importing fedi contacts into an address book app actually do - most contacts apps would merge contacts based on email address or phone number, neither of which are available in a federated situation. If the app merged based on name that wouldn’t work great either because few people use their full/real name on fedi.

Well said.

This need for consensus is absurd and unrealistic. There will always be some countries that put their interest above humanity.

Time to form an alliance of the willing and get on with it.

I’m mindblown that serious career/business people still post on X. Don’t they see the brand damage they’re causing to their company and themselves?
