We really need a way to more easily access comms from other instances, or to sort comms by instance. I’d like to subscribe to most dbzer0 comms but finding them in the All list is a pain.

Depends which instance you’re on. Lemmy.ml was giving me lots of problems, but I get the feeling the lemmy.ee admin is really on top of things so that’s my main now.

Oh nice, you can edit the link and run it for any instance.

Thanks, but really I mean finding the comms in other instances from within my own instance, such that I can subscribe to them remotely. Finding the comms is easy, you can just go to the other instance (eg open up lemmy.dbzer0.com) but in order to subscribe from another instance you need to go into Communities, click All, then search for them one by one. The Communities list needs a way of filtering All by instance.

Also, it would be nice if all of this could be done from within Jerboa. Jerboa only seems to search comms you’ve already subscribed to. Right now subbing to comms is best done in a web browser.

Lmao that’s nuts. I’m just glad lemmy.ee isn’t in their list, they’re federated with everyone :D

Also, it’s nice that I can see your edit! Edits didn’t seem to federate from lemmy.ml.

Good question!

I think if you do that the little red light would stop blinking and you’d break the internet.

Don’t forget that for many years reddit was the home of the most inciteful Donald Trump propaganda platform with r/t_d.

Don’t forget: the family themselves have to pay for the app.

Accessing pornhub might not be illegal, but the judge ordered the husband not to access it as a term of his bail, which is legitimate.

However, they have no proof that he accessed the website, only that a device in the household attempted to connect to pornhub. Even worse, this was most likely a feature in Chrome where it pings frequently visited websites in the background, all without the user’s input.

This is likely the reason Covenent Eyes explicitly state their app is not to be used by people under probation. However, the cynic in me says that someone in the business is bribing judges to order the use of their software regardless, meanwhile the victims are the ones who have to pay for their own surveillance.

To take it one level higher in how fucked up this is: there’s every possibility someone at Covenent Eyes is lobbying judges and/or prosecutord and convincing them to use their app in court orders, even when the company’s own terms and conditions say it shouldn’t be used for this purpose.

I see an eerie similarity to the “troubled teen” industry with this stuff.
