Rule 8 is too dystopian for me. I hate that I can totally see this becoming a real thing.
This "defederate at the slightest sign of trouble" mindset is dangerous. It's not like sh.itjust.works endorsed that terrible community they just happened to temporary set up there before they were banned.
If you just block every instance that hosts a community you disagree with, beehaw will end up completely isolated. This isn't necessarily a problem, but don't try to pretend you're part of the federation at that point.
That sounds like a giant GPL violation if sources are provided under the condition that you don't use them.
Legally they must provide source to anyone they provide binaries to.
I strongly disagree with this decision -- as lemmy progresses and stabilizes, open registrations will become normal and just blocking open instances will not be a viable solution.
I can't say if this is just a need for better mod tooling or a fundamental problem with federation, but it's certainly concerning.
Looks like the update script is still running.
I haven't had my hair professionally cut since 2020. I used covid as an excuse to get through the mullet phase and now I just keep it tied back and cut it myself when it gets too long to sleep comfortably with.
I'm still sticking with google. I check duckduckgo occasionally but always find it to be subpar.

I'm not sure who I trust less to run a social platform -- muskrat or bookface.
Factorio has been consuming my life (again) recently.
