In this case, the "lemmy devs" and the operators of lemmy.ml are the same people and it's hosted within EU.
But - that's still a far cry from getting any kind of GDPR violation report going, much less getting it through the process to actual fines.
People like to bring up GDPR violations as a some kind of super-moderator tool, but it isn't that easy and it definitely isn't automated.

Effect of ActivityPub, not Lemmy. All federating systems function similarly, because it's a feature of the protocol.
If instances want, they can ignore delete requests and your content stays in their cache forever (remember Pleroma nazis from couple of years ago?) - now, that is an instance problem that might be a GDPR issue, but good luck reporting it to anyone who cares. At best you can block and defederate, but that doesn't mean your posts are removed.
The fediverse has no privacy, it's "public Internet". Probably a good idea to treat it as such.

I find it interesting that Meta Platforms, Inc., a company known for harvesting user data, is blocking some servers from fetching its public posts. They decided to implement a feature Mastodon calls Authorized fetch.
This was always going to happen. They will block agressively, because they can't have their precious advertising money mixed with CSAM, nazis and other illegal content. And the fedi is full of that.

I've been using Debian since 1.3. Haven't really ever needed anything else.
I did "experiment" a bit when the decision to go with systemd was taken, but in the end, most distros went with it and it really isn't that big deal for me.
So it's just Debian. I need a computer that works.

How is Lando higher than Rovanperä? WTF? What championship did he win? Or better.. did he actually win anything at all this year?

Gates is probably just as bad and evil as the global 0.1%:er billionaire cabal members come, but that site gave me a crackpot conspiracy brainrot.
Erin Kissane posted a long and well researched article about Threads federation risks and trust and safety issues around Meta. If you're taking part in the debate and discussions about Threads federation - or if you're instance admin on the fence - you should really read this.

It's wild that a site with hundreds of millions of users, didn't invest into multiple-account deletion tools.
True start-up mentality, that one.
Just shows how our "critical" social media is really just some hasty tape and bubblegum behind the scenes to keep the front from falling apart.

As is the case normally with these "exodus" things, most people went back to Reddit after the first month here.

I guess majority on fedi are dumbasses in that case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mastodon is pretty fucked up anyway because everyone is on mastodon.social.
Adam Mosseri shared Threads roadmap for the near future. It's not entirely surprising, but looks like they're working towards "full" federation support with profile portability.

Because the people signed the pact did it long time ago, before any details about Threads federation was known. It was a typical fedi kneejerk reaction.

I still do that for meeting minutes, out of old habits, but other stuff like design notes/specs need to be e-mailed around, so it had to be something digital. Markup in text files was my solution.
I've never used Evernote, I thought it was something Mac specific?

Somehow I don't think many instance admins have resources or knowhow to drive legal processes against Meta?
And while a disclaimer on the instance page might have some effect, the Federation protocol makes it hard to avoid getting a copy of the said content in your cache.

How do we accomplish that?
An army of fake social media accounts on Twitter and the blogging site Medium have been promoting and defending the controversial hosting of a UN climate summit by the United Arab Emirates.
So maybe everyone is already aware and I'm just behind the curve (as usual), but I ran into Mechabellum by accident the other day (I don't normally check my YouTube recommendations, so I guess I was lucky). Super fun RTS "autobattler" - you don't need billion APM skillz to play it - the action is automated - you just pick the units, upgrades and place them - and watch they mayhem (or despair). Been a while since I played something that made me go "just one more game" until late in the night. Any other Mechabellum enjoyers here?
Hello Detroit! Swedish hockeyfan coming in peace! Hockeymedia has been speculating about San Jose wanting to trade EK65 during the summer. He wants to go to a team that can make a run for the cup and compete - and that team will also have to have cap to take in his contract. Even if the Sharks retain salary, I'd guess he'd be around $8M. I've been thinking - maybe he could be a piece in Yzerplan? Does it make any sense to you guys?
“There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well”
