  • Repeat above for the use of “nazi”. The use of the word has become devalued because people like to fling it at folks with milquetoast centrist opinions, save it for people who are legitimately evil.

    Yup, I said the same thing to people around me, when the use of the word “fascist” became a thing in my country. Even clearly moderate opponents were being called fascists left and right. I told people around me that the word would lose its meaning and power. That’s exactly what happened, and when an actual fascist came up, you had nothing against him and its supporters transformed the term into a joke.


  • The first one already happens, no? Before the last few updates, if you opened a link to a community that “via” another instance, you were kinda screwed. You could see it as a “guest”, but not interact to it. In the recent updates, if you try to interact with it, it will open a popup to ask if you wanna open it in one of the instances you have an account.

    Dunno if I misunderstood your point, tho.

    The second one is kinda hard, because images already put a lot of pressure on instances storage-wise. Videos would be even more, and not only much more storage needed, but also throughput. I don’t really see it happening any time soon, not really because of the apps, but because of the platform itself and its federated nature.









  • I’m not really sure about that. I’m not saying it as an expert or anything, but that’s a discussion I saw around here the other day.

    Basically, once you federate and copy the content to your instance, it is in your server and you are responsible for it.

    I’ll agree with a few things, tho:

    It barely happens today, on centralized platforms. They’re hardly obliged to remove content because some judge says so (it does happen, tho, at least in my country)

    I’d imagine it would be a bit of a grey area legally, right now. We would need legislation regarding the fediverse. Imagine someone posts child porn in an instance yours is federated to. Your instance copies the content. You notice and defederated the whole instance, but don’t remove the content. The dude is banned by his home instance and his post is removed. But his copy still exists in yours, since you defederated before his ban and content removal.

    Just saying that selfhosting brings a lot of things that need to come to your attention.




  • Thanks!

    Yeah, I was talking to my gf earlier today about feeling a bit anxious about it, but she told me to relax and that he would conduct the session more than a psychologist does.

    He’s well referred, a young guy and doesn’t prescribe medication just because, it looks like.

    I would be ready to take pills if they are necessary, tho.

    A few years ago, I was going out with a girl who said she “was better while on pills, but the world was greyer”. Kinda reinforced my opinions on them at the time.

    But after that, I’ve talked to some people that assured me that medication made them feel much better and never had any side effects.

    Who knows, I’ll find out how it goes.
