Australian Senate, last sitting of the year. No idea when the Social Media Ban debate is kicking off.

If anyone's keen, feel free to give a live run-down of anything interesting in this thread.

(sorry about all the edits, just trying to get a decent thumbnail: elevated photo of the Australian Senate)

Really? you think that it's on the whole good and wouldn't be better if replaced by a system of smaller, more topic focused networks where administrators have less access to user data and less ability to control conversation? Where infrastructure was less vulnerable to single point failure?

Do you remember what irc, xmpp, and bbs's were like? Or were they before your time. One angry admin on lemmy.world could compromise ~170k users and they're large enough that they could also distribute malicious files to like half a million computers. That is so obviously not good I feel completely baffled that you don't see the problem.
