No, it’s like saying that seeking a network with less moderation where everyone can set up their own instance, will lead to less moderated content

Slow down

It’s the same Union that wants to ban cryptography in instant messaging apps. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes…well

Infine this statement quite contradictory considering it’s on a decentralized social network whose main selling point is giving companies LESS control on what actually get on platforms

What do you mean? He’s just a very polite fluffball

This is a very dangerous argument because it infringes the democratic base itself.

It’s not necessary wrong, but be careful because with the very same logic you could argue the people don’t really know what they want, they aren’t able to govern themselves, we, enlightened creatures, should decide the way forward.

Again, it’s not necessary false, but it leads to authoritarian and paternalistic consequences

Forums have existed on the internet forever and and have already dealt with this thousands of times previously

The main difference is that forums aren’t federated. On Lemmy you not only need to keep in check internal users, but also external instances, and as everyone can host one, federation ads extra complexity

if an admin of an instance marks a post as potentially illegal, it gets replicated to other instances automatically and gets in queu for deletion.

This opens at some terrible abuse, just open a malevolent instant and start flagging all the content you don’t like as illegal

At the same time I hate to see the promised federated network revert to what commercial platforms have become, karma and account age requirement, phone and identity verification , forced 2fa and what not.

While I share this very same feeling, I also recognize there are reasons why commercial platforms have done what they’ve done, I don’t think they’re inherently evil, they just had to face the very same problems we have

Italy finally got Corsica back?

The only objection I have with that is redundancy is useless because if the main server who “host” the community goes down then all the other copies will die too as content can’t be added anymore.

There’s no mechanic for orphan communities

Because it’s bad only if someone I don’t like does it
