Unremoval of Piracy Communities in c/lemmyworld

Honestly, I think federation is the wrong model. It should be P2P, with pinned content, like how IPFS works: https://docs.ipfs.tech/how-to/pin-files/

In other words, users shouldn't have to live on instances and be subjected to the whims and fancies of the admins / server operators.

Or, a less radical change would be simply to allow cross-instance interaction, i.e. your "home" instance doesn't have to host any of the content in question. You'd simply authenticate through OpenID Connect, and be able to interact as yourself on another instance.

Uhh... There is FEP-61cf: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/61cf/fep-61cf.md

Yeah, that's why I asked if they're from the global south. Because most of the world do have to pay for SMS.

Unfortunately the block is intentional: https://lemmy.world/post/18275511

First the Luigi shit, and now this. I guess it's time to migrate to a different instance.

Are you from the global south? Because it's still a common thing for SMS to be chargeable in many countries. And no one should be using SMS anyway. It's horribly insecure. At least use RCS.

no one was actually on it

It might feel that way at first, but my Mastodon feed is very robust nowadays. You just need to follow more people.

PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel? in c/fediverse

You can just open the Pixelfed links using your Mastodon instance:

To be fair, there are plenty of critical content. It's just that they use coded language to avoid the censorship. (Probably not on XHS / RedNote though? It's more of a Facebook equivalent.)
