Made me think of A Clockwork Orange.
Telegram chats aren't e2ee by default. You're essentially putting your chats on a server owned by a rich Russian person as a hobby.
If you think the problem is in the countryside, you've never been to New York City, and particularly the Bronx.
Probably a combination of flat out retards and recent immigrants for whom English is a second language.
What happened with exploding heads?
But just as a side note, a user can block an entire instance as well, at least on Mastodon. I haven't checked for that functionality on Lemmy. That's not defederation, but it prevents you from seeing things you don't want to at the user level.
You can't keep them out, but you can choose not to Federate with them. They can't take over. That's the point of having independent federated servers.
This sets out my own thoughts on the situation as well. Thanks for posting.
There's a contradiction here. The Supreme Court ruled that Speech can't be compelled, not that you could bar certain people from a business. You could decline to decorate a cake with "MAGA", but not decline to sell a cake to a Republican, for example. What those signs are promoting is still illegal.
As much as I dislike Meta, the idea that you’d have to pay to present a link to a news article is idiocy. Let the news sites see how their traffic goes without those links.
